Biography
[edit]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 building is located in the Gallery District in Provincetown and was once home to a Christian Science Church.[7]
