Ann Young
One Fine Day, 2021
Biography
Ann Young paints in many styles, always with plenty of color. Pictures of all sorts of people in our troubling times feature in her work as do abstracted images of greatly magnified natural objects.
Artist Statment
When I began painting, I worked my way through a lot of subject material, but was quickly drawn to people. I love to paint people, whether from a live model, from a photo reference or from my imagination. I will take images for many different sources and mix them up in one painting. With a particular interest in human emotion, I spend a lot of time making pictures of these people and wondering who they are and what they are thinking. I always make up my own stories about them, that may be far afield from who they really are.. But once, I start to paint them, they enter my reality and I can turn them into whoever I want them to be.
