ANN BRALLIAR
I did not formally start painting until I was in my thirties. For years I
had been conceptualizing paintings in my mind without
understanding or knowing how to express them. I would often
search art galleries and museums studying different works in order
to further define exactly how I wanted to attempt my own personal
expression. This desire led me to experiment in several different
mediums until I truly found my artistic equation: acrylic paint and
white canvas. My creative time is in the evening after tucking my
son in bed and sharing a glass of wine with my husband. Each night
the love of my family leads me into my studio with a smile on my
face and a profound inspiration to create. I consider myself fortunate
that I have been able to bring to life my own personal vision through
art. I feel that creating art has provided me with a spiritual rebirth
and has filled the final piece of my life that had been missing for far
too long.
My paintings always reflect my most acutely felt emotions and
experiences. When I start a painting, sometimes I am initially driven
by wanting to portray an emotion, idea or image. Other times I am
inspired by a particular style or by the beauty of the paint or color. I
view my process as one of discovery. Every time I paint I like to find
something new or enigmatic in my work. This creates in me a sense
of excitement that I strive to pass along to the viewer.
