Ann Palmer works in oils using brush and palette knife often producing highly textural work. She looks to the coasts of Kent and Cornwall for inspiration, often painting standing on the pebbly beach watching the tide ebb and flow, the morning mist across the water, the light on the horizon, the clouds coming in from the west over London, and the light out to sea to the north and east. The low tide exposes sandbanks, pebbles, seafood for the gulls to seek. Her work has become larger, more abstract and expressionistic. The extent to which the painting is built with more impasto depends on the scene and mood. Ann’s style is impressionistic, representative tending towards some abstraction and expressionism.
Ann exhibits locally in Kent, in Art Fairs in London and the South East, and in galleries in the US, Italy, Portugal and France. Her work is collected across the world.
