About the Artist:

Annie Broderick was born an artist and bred in needlework. Annie’s use of fabric and stitching in her mixed media sculpture is an acknowledgement, on her own terms, of the southern needlework tradition that runs through her maternal female ancestry. Annie’s artistic mother nurtured her early experimentation and exploration with a wide array of materials and methods similar to those in Annie’s current work. In adolescence, Annie ventured away from the Deep South to study fine art at The Taft School, Wells College in Paris, and Davidson College, earning two art awards and a Studio Art degree. More recently, Annie’s devotion to her own physical form, strength, and power through her weightlifting practice has shaped and fueled her creative process, artistic expression, and identity as a mixed media sculptor. Annie lives in Arlington, Virginia, and creates in her home studio. She has shown work in the greater Washington, DC, area and sold work nationwide for the last five years.

Why focus on local, women-identifying artists?

“Today, in the year 2021, women artists’ sales still make up only 2% of the global market. Despite highly visible efforts to counter the absence of women artists in international museum collections, very little action has been directed toward this jarring discrepancy in emerging to established women artists’ primary survival mechanism: the creative economy. 

Further, DC, Maryland, and Virginia artists are working in a deeply engaged local art world that is at the red-hot center of the United States’ political landscape, and yet their voices are largely dismissed by the international art community and press. 

The Pierce’s distinctive decision to collect only artwork by women artists who are also local - living, creating and exhibiting in its vicinity - sets a precedent for what it really means to support the arts.”
