Ann Marshall’s work combines realistic painting with patterned and textured collage elements. I especially enjoy the direction of her newer portraits, where the collage elements have lots of texture and color.
Because of the drastic scale reduction necessary for the web, there’s often a lot of confusion regarding my work. All figure work is done by hand, using either oil paint or pastel. The collage work is similarly low tech, constructed with scissors and an ever changing array of non-toxic glues.
Hopefully I will one day have the opportunity to check these out in person. See more at anmarshallart.com or on facebook.
