ANN CLOUTIER

Having painted as a hobby for 25 years, I am now fully devoted to my art and concentrating on realism still life acrylic paintings. As much as I love getting into the quiet details of realism I occasionally can be found "letting loose" with abstracts and florals. Most recently I have been exploring the timeless appeal of iconic landmarks. This series encapsulates the charm and allure of mid-century Americana, making it a delightful tribute to traditional roadside diners and restaurants.

Throughout the many subjects, my use of vibrant color and clean lines brings a modern freshness to my art.

​

My focus is creating paintings that capture the beauty of everyday life. I find inspiration in the color, shadows, and highlights, which adds depth and dimension to my compositions.

 

My technique is a result of painting and drawing classes, as well as daily painting and exposure to a wide range of artistic styles. This has allowed me to set my work apart with its bold colors and intricate detailing.

 

I have lived in beautiful New England all of my life. When I am not painting, I enjoy the endless "do it yourself" projects of decorating the home I share with my husband.

​

 “ “Reflections” takes the classic still life and turns it on its head by placing glistening objects in front of an enchanting flower print, which is abstracted through a glass goblet and reflected in a vintage pitcher. The details are subtle, but masterful: the closer you observe, the more they reveal themselves.”
