ANN GORES, known as "The Ambassador of Nature," uses Nature as her Muse with floral bouquet canvases, which offer a triumphant homage to the timeless appeal of the floral world.

Seattle-based artist Ann Gores oil canvases offer a triumphant homage to the timeless appeal of the floral world, creating visually rich transplendent floral bouquets. With Nature as her muse, Ann Gores is influenced by Monet's adage and taps into the art historical heritage of the Impressionists by offering a contemporary evanescent reinterpretation of classically inspired floral arrangements. Known as 'The Ambassador of the Floral Kingdom," Ms. Gores skillfully paints floral, still life and landscape scenes that hint to the world the magical, eternal qualities of our universe.

Translating a deep appreciation for Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art, Ms. Gores juxtaposes a unique interplay between movement, color, and perspective that veers her floral-still life oeuvre into masterful painterly realism. Infusing the mystique of nature into her unparalleled technique, Ms. Gores embraces the inherent textures and blossoming colors of each floral image resulting in pictures that combine a strong physical presence with a quiet, dreamlike tone. Capturing the spirit of her enchanted surroundings, she employs unexpected hues that curve into familiar patterns which take shape as dreamy, loosely defined garlands of color. Reflecting a pageantry of nature’s colors, her palette showcases a dazzling corsage of verdant greens, cerulean blues, sun-kissed yellows, rosy pinks intermingled with melon-ripe oranges.

Uniquely captivating, Ann Gores oil paintings blend an expressive interpretation of the telluric realm conveying a reverence to the eternity of the floral realm, Magnifying nature's blooming qualities, Ms. Gores' strong interest in capturing the language and visual syntax of the natural world springs forth in each of her composition with a voice and a soul as the viewer can almost inhale the aromatic fragrance of the bouquets Her personal floral vision reverberates with the inherent harmony of humanity’s relationship with nature, inspiring us to coexist in a counterpoint of wholeness with the natural terrain. Capitalizing on powerful visual communication strategies, she interprets flowing organic forms as well as a keen feeling for how light creates moods and transforms scenes.

A contemporary master, Ms. Gores offers a modern perspective to an old world tradition of floral still life painting and places herself in the pantheon of artists who have achieved great success in this special genre. Translating onto canvas the ephemeral moment, award-winning painter Ann Gores has participated in a lifetime of immersion in the arts, culminating in a wonderful body of work and has embarked on a painting career which has catapulted her into a meaningful position in the contemporary art arena.
