Ann Adams

Pastel painter, Ann S. Adams, finds both inspiration and willing subjects in the colorful plant life she encounters in her own backyard. Pastel proves to be the perfect medium for her vision of saturated color.

Ann brings us up close, abstracting the view so that we see these beautiful plants with a fresh eye. Drawing on deep spiritual sensitivity, Ann recognizes them as evidence of the "balance and peaceful order in our lives- our gift from the Giver."

Of her process she says, "By mixing today's techniques with old Master's techniques. I combine methods of cropping, altering and printing my composition. Although most of my subjects are composed when my reference snapshot is first taken, I enjoy the liberty afforded by modern techniques. After completing a painting I make a digital recording of it and may print an archival edition, usually limited to 7 prints."

Born in Corpus Christi, Texas, Ann has lived in Dallas for 10 years. She has received numerous awards, including Award of Excellence in the Pastel Society of the Southwest Juried Exhibit, TVAA Citation Juried Exhibit, Visual Arts Society of Texas National Juried Exhibit 2006, and her work was included in New Texas Talent 2005, a prestigious juried exhibition mounted annually by Craighead-Green Gallery. Ann was the 2006 President of the Pastel Society of the Southwest, is a signature member of Texas Visual Arts Association, and a member of The McKinney Avenue Contemporary.

Her work can be found in private as well as corporate collections. For more information see www.annsadams.com
