May 2026 Art Walk: Annalee Parker

 

ART WALK

Join us for Art Walk this Tuesday, May 5 at 5:00pm. We will be featuring artwork from artist Annalee Parker.

Annalee Parker is an artist and illustrator based in Clarksville, Tennessee, and holds a B.F.A. in Graphic Design from Austin Peay State University. Her work centers on themes of local history, the natural world, and the animals and plants that exist within it. She works across a range of mediums, including watercolor, pen and ink, colored pencil, and digital illustration. 

As a graphic designer, Parker has worked alongside clients such as the Customs House Museum, as well as nonprofit organizations including Amelia’s Closet in Murfreesboro and PACE Enterprises in West Virginia. Both organizations support women and individuals with disabilities during transitional periods in their lives by providing professional apparel, interview coaching, and the resources needed to build confidence, secure sustainable employment, and improve financial stability. 

As an artist, she has received an Honorable Mention in the local 2Rivers Plein Air Paint Out and was awarded First Place in Water Media in the Downtown Artists Cooperative’s Annual Juried Art Exposition. She is also a current member of the Downtown Artists Cooperative (DAC) in Clarksville. 

Her work for the exhibition A Sense of Place explores these ideas through landscapes, wildlife, and botanical studies. Some pieces are rooted in familiar local environments, while others extend beyond them, shaped by observation and imagination. Across her work, Parker considers how place influences memory, emotion, and a sense of belonging, inviting viewers into quiet, reflective moments grounded in both the real and the remembered.
