Color is very important to me and I use color to create drama, tension and a sense of space.  Paintings are planned with a narrative.  Something has happened or being planned, for example, Figures in contemplation or conversation or the moment.  During the creative process, I take a canvas and explore my sense of the space and I decide how I will fill the space, manipulate the space and what colors will be used to paint the subject.  My abstracts include lush colors depicting energy, movement or place within.  Creativity for me is an ongoing developing process throughout the painting.  My goal is to have the viewer stop and think about the moment, the setting, the movement, the happening etc.

I enjoy teaching art, attending art workshops and travel.  Currently I give private art instructions to teens-adults at my studio.  My paintings are in private collections.  To purchase art, or discuss art instruction or painting commissions, I can be contacted at AnnNoelart@aol.com or 703-201-2500.
