Anne Farley Gaines

Show ran from 11/1/2000 to 11/25/2000

Landscapes, Portraits, and a Touch of Fantasy, watercolor and mixed media

Gaines works in both a traditional on-location mode in her landscape and portrait work and also in a three-dimensional manner in which the paper is virtually "vivisected" and re-attached in varying layers to a firmer surface. This method of working enables the artist to infuse abstraction into her compositions and can allow the viewer more access to the complexity of her thoughts in regard to the balancing of the spiritual with the physical.
