Biography

Packard was born in 1933 in Hyde Park, New York.[1] While growing up in Hyde Park, she spent her childhood summers in Provincetown, Massachusetts.[2]

She comes from a family of artists, including her grandmother, Zella, and grandfather, Max Bohm, a 19th- and 20th-century romantic impressionist who was one of the founding members of an artist colony in Provincetown.[2] She studied at Bard College in New York, and moved to Provincetown in 1977, where she apprenticed under Philip Malicoat.[2]

Her daughters Cynthia Packard[3] and Leslie Packard[4] are also notable painters. Her son, Michael Packard, is the only person in recorded history to have been inside a whale's mouth and survive; he was freed as the whale dislodged him from its mouth.[5][6]

Anne Packard opened the doors to Packard Gallery in 1988. The heritage building is located in the historic Gallery District in Provincetown and was once home to a Christian Science Church.[7] Packard Gallery represents the works of Anne Packard and Leslie Packard, two generations of widely exhibited and collected painters. Anne, a renowned landscape artist, paints simple, sparsely-rendered scenes of the Outer Cape and Europe. Leslie paints still-lifes speaking with the simplicity of pure color and elegant form.
