Ann’s Studio

“No painting can exist without the tension of what it figures and what it concretely consists of. The pleasure of what it could mean and the pain of what it is not.”
— Marlene Dumas
“You paint in those few moments when you can formulate something. But lying in wait for them, that’s very different from representing something and giving it shape.”
— Sigmar Polke

Artist’s Statement

I’m interested in the nature of liminal spaces, the “yes, and”, allusion, and evocation, and the revelatory possibilities of paradox and association. My work is grounded in the creation of a virtual space but is not bound by notions of verisimilitude. I strive to create occasions for wandering, surprise and joy.
