“Rarely making preliminary sketches, I work as realistically as I want over an abstract foundation, essentially letting my mind wander in an intuitive way between subconscious, conscious, and super conscious. Integrating still life, landscape, and figures, painting is a trip into the many ways that anything relates to everything. My work reflects my life by integrating stillness and motion, a sense of time and timelessness, and most of all–mystery. I often find myself in a place of enormous freedom, full of surprises.” ~ Ann Getsinger
