About Whitney Ann

I am painter and combined media artist dedicated to experimentation as a means of self-discovery. I draw inspiration from motherhood which has transformed my practice into episodic glimpses of my existence, thus making sense of the world through my art. My works often consist of large splashes of color poured and scraped across the canvas, with bold lines, gestural marks, and drip of paint that balance the entire composition. My visceral connection to color is intuitive and used as an expression of internal contemplation. My approach tries to capture something more than literal representation of the world. My hope is to create a bridge between what is felt and what is seen.

Harmony is a theme seen through out my latest series. The canvas is layered in abstractions in various monochromatic color schemes, representing the chaos and disarray of the world. Atop of these abstractions, block lines and geometric shapes adorn and stretch from one edge of the frame to the next. Each line and shape are painted with a gradient color fading from one space to the next. Recessions within the gradient allow the abstractions to subtly pop through symbolizing a transcendent moment in time, an awakening. The moment of harmony only experienced through deep thought, or prayer with one’s higher power.
