Artist Statement for Ann Hamilton

|
My students say they learn the most by watching me work. My style is that of allowing the subject matter of the painting to direct me. I have an idea, such as a landscape or a seascape, but the painting, like a work of fiction in a literary piece, takes on a life of its' own. It often appears to be telling me what to do. That is what challenges me most. When I place colors onto paper, canvas, or panel, a vision of the painting soon begins to take shape in my mind. Once I decide on a focal point, the development of the painting proceeds much like that of the development of characters in a fictitious novel. Whether it's in the classroom, my studio, or during workshops that I conduct, I am always being surprised.
As a young child, I knew in my heart that I was an artist. Early on the desire to express myself manifested itself in the written word. For more than 15 years I was a reporter and journalist-editor of community newspapers. Many times, during this period, my thoughts wondered to what course my life would have taken had I been a visual artist. Following my husband's death, in 1980, I decided to find out. Since that time, except for intervals when my attention was diverted, I have been on a fantastic journey discovering the answer to this question. It has been more fulfilling then anything in my life.
