Ann Gordon
Abstract Landscape Artist
Ann Gordon’s abstract landscapes are a vibrant reflection of her deep connection to the natural environment. Through her paintings, she captures the energy and beauty of the bush, translating her experiences into intuitive, layered artworks.
When traveling into nature, Ann carries a small set of graphite pencils, charcoal, and paints to document what she sees and feels in her art journal. She collects natural elements like sticks and bark, which she uses for mark-making in her studio practice, further bridging the connection between her physical experience in nature and the abstract interpretations that emerge on canvas.
In her studio, Ann expands these journal sketches into larger works, employing automatic and rhythmic drawing techniques to create dynamic, energetic compositions. Each painting is an expression of what it felt like to be immersed in that place—capturing not just the visual elements but the essence and emotional resonance of the landscape.
