About Anne:   HTTPS://WWW.ANNELEVEQUE

Anne has her MFA from UCLA. Recently she has had solo shows in Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore and the Napa Valley, St.  Helena, Very large abstract landscapes and non-objective work are Anne's spatial inspirations for oil on canvas. Her goal is to push through abstract landscapes towards non-objective work, the goal being absolutely the obliteration of all image as might creep in as she paints. If she can do this, it frees the viewer to “see what they see.” Throughout the process of up to 30 layers, she is ever-mindful of leaving no recognizable imposed image.

Color choice is very important, but Anne has no physical palette. The paint goes directly from the tube onto the canvas and then she moves it around, wipes it off, blends, sands, scrapes, etc., to create depth. 

To achieve a sense of peace in each work, she uses both dramatic expansive strokes of emotion and, later, sensitive detail. The breath breadth of the strokes? real breath inhalation and  exilaton JUSTLEAVE  TEXT  AS IS WITH BREATH will set the tone of the painting. Another day starts and Anne begins to know where the painting is going. If she gets this far and continues, the work will usually be successful. If the viewer can sense the essence of Peace, then the work circles back and is complete. 

Painting  and  travel have taken Anne into a fully aesthetic and ascetic life of solitude, peace, and tranquility.

 She has traveled the world and lived in Asia for 10 years. She says, “To travel extensively internationally is to understand humankind more fully and this has influenced my philosophy and painting profoundly.
