Totem Polka Daubs No. 2 Painting

Ann Marie is an impasto painter focusing on colorful abstractions and expressionist landscapes using only palette knives and heavy body paint straight from the tube. She slathers frosting-like paint layer upon layer onto the canvas with paint running off the edges, resulting in a sculptural, three-dimensional appearance. Her "Polka Daubs" series explores the deconstruction of color and texture into their simplest form. Ann Marie currently resides with her husband and four children in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
