Ann Flemings
Painting
My journey as an artist began at the age of seven, as I discovered the world of painting with my grandmother, right at her kitchen table. It has been a lifelong passion ever since. When I create, I draw upon heart-felt memories and ordinary moments, seeking to make art that reflects a sense of peace, balance, and beauty. Nature is a favorite source of inspiration for me, and my meditation practice helps me cultivate a full-bodied sense of calm. This inner serenity has become the core inspiration for my art. As a contemporary abstract painter, I primarily work with acrylics and charcoal. I start with a simple composition, layering and excavating, then building depth through subsequent layers. Always seeking 'the light' within each piece, I create subtle tensions between hues and tones, exploring contrasts of dark and light. This generates a dynamic energy that captivates and soothes, inviting viewers to experience a calm akin to taking a deep, refreshing breath. Come visit me and four other artists at 2710 Wilson Street during Art04 2025.
