As a contemporary artist with an impressionistic style, ANNIE KINNEY VILLA’s intent is to create art that is fresh and vibrant. Her zest to paint is fed by the places she knows and loves. These are places she often returns to again and again. Annie’s strong connection to the environments that she paints influences her compositions. In simplifying the composition and not being overly explicit, her intent is to capture the effects of light, movement, mood and space in the landscape using value relationships and color.
Annie’s goal for each painting is to create a visual dialogue of opposing elements and to create a narrative within the two-dimensional space. Annie’s landscape paintings are created using direct observation in plein air, photos and videos. Her memory of a place helps guide the painting verses a literal rendition of a scene. Annie’s continual growth comes from her natural curiosity and interaction with the landscape.
