Exciting April!

I am delighted to have had two paintings selected for the Folkestone Art Gallery Spring Show. This will be a Group Show open from 31st March until 30th April.

FSTONE ART GALLERY is based in the heart of Folkestone’s Creative Quarter. Exhibiting the work of local artists to further afield, this unique space is spread over two floors. The top floor features small original artworks, prints, ceramics, unique mid century furniture and plants. Downstairs is a more traditional gallery space holding exhibitions with larger original artworks and sculptures.

Besides this amazing opportunity, I shall be holding my annual SOLO Show at The HORSEBRIDGE GALLERY in Whitstable. ‘The Wild Side’ runs from 11th April to 25th. My work will feature my latest paintings which are loose and exciting, focusing on the feelings and emotions evoked by the state of the tide and weathers at various times of day and year.

This gallery is in the heart of Oyster Country, the Oyster Farm is just behind the gallery and at low tide you can see the oyster beds, and men working them. Oysters are a delicacy available in local restaurants

About Ann

Ann Palmer worked as a Public Health doctor for 40 years, before picking up a brush and learning how to paint. Ann is largely self taught, but learned important skills from master classes and short courses at Central St Martins and St Ives Painting School, and by observation, reading and visiting exhibitions.

Ann works in oils using brush and palette knife often producing highly textural work. She is best known for her seascapes, but is now gaining recognition for her modern landscapes.

Ann’s work is inspired by  her experience standing in the seashore and the fields immersing herself in the environment, getting to know the landscape, the colours.  Sketching and plein air painting are an essential part of her process.

When Ann is in the studio her memories play an important part in working up a painting;  the palette knife takes over, carefully placing the colours juxtaposed with each other resulting in a more abstract form of the subject.

Ann’s work is in collections across the UK, Europe and the US;  Ann exhibits in Rochester and Margate and at Art Fairs in the South East.  She is represented by Gabriel Fine Arts in London, Galleria360 in Florence and Sei Arte in Turin
