ANN CRAVEN (b.1967)

Ann is a painter living and working in New York City. She summers in Cushing, Maine.

Categorically, like the medium's history, Craven’s painting can be divided into two – the iconographic and the abstract. Craven is well-known for her lushly colored, bold, serial portraits of the moon and various animals, but often birds, flowers, trees, and other iconic images from everyday life.  No less significant are Craven’s series of abstract canvases employing diagonal stripes of color as well as her Untitled (Palettes) series, which serve to both document her process and reflect on the notion of time just passed.
