FIGURE 2 2013 “The paintings of women’s bodies in the FIGURES Series are some of my favorites. Drawn from memory with an abstract, gestural technique, I model the form. The absence of natural color defines the art, to elevate the figure from merely a nude. Each abstract nude painting displays emotion and energy and quiet beauty.” - Kim McAninch
A 2017 HEAD & HEART. “I am exhilarated by the visual dance between the figurative and abstract. My body of work fulfills my natural, uninhibited desire to scratch the surface in a gestural, painterly manner toward accuracy, offering more information with less detail. I realize the principles that govern each piece of my art will not be applicable in the next. Each is a journey unto its own. This series celebrates my learned concepts and techniques as well encourages instinctive moves. In this series of abstract landscape art, I am using my unique voice, striving for harmony of color and rhythm in each composition, offered from both my head & heart.

HEAD & HEART 15 from way back. SOLD long ago. Now the paper and the linen work have grown together. Looking around the studio, what used to look like several different styles, do not anymore. Whether pencil or oil paint, ink or pastel, they speak kindly to each other.
