ANN POLLARD

Ann Pollard spent 25 years living in the Washington DC area where she studied extensively at the Alexandria, Virginia art league. She returned to the southwest in 1990 where she has continued to actively pursue her love of painting.
Ann has painted all her life. Her paternal grandmother, Martha Robinson, was a notable painter and Ann was always fascinated by not only the painting, but also by the direct and intuitive process used by her grandmother.
Bold color, pattern, and texture are paramount in Pollard’s work, creating lush layers of washes, glazed and impastos which unite to form the spirit of the whole. She likes the combination of the many effects throughout the depths of layers which create a varied and interesting surface area. There is never a preconceived plan, no drawing, She finds it exciting to let intuition serve the expression of each experience. She trusts that the relationship of all the color, and textures result in an uplifting, joyful living harmony. She works exclusively with sponge, pallet knife and fingers which allows looseness and free creativity to flow.
