Anne Mcgovern

I was born in the U.K. but came to the States as a young child settling in Brooklyn, New York. I re-located to Arizona in1996.My work is primarily concerned with color, surface and mark making. Paintings develop spontaneously through color relationships and emerging shapes. Textured surfaces play against smooth surfaces to add another dimension to the work. I employ a process of building up and scraping away to create a layered textural surface. I am currently living in Carolina Shores, North Carolina

I attended Fashion Institute, New York School of Interior Design and the Brooklyn Museum Art School while in New York and the Scottsdale Artists School in Arizona.,
