Boulder Arts Resource presents….
“Transitions” by Anne Gifford
As the artistic perspective of my youth and middle age makes its metamorphosis
into the vantage point of an seasoned elder, I rejoice, remember, and renew.
I reflect with gratitude upon the life of creative expression that I have been so blessed to enjoy, and look forward with anticipation to that which is yet to emerge.
Imagery, like a pictorial journal, has chronicled my journey thus far.
Increasingly aware of the multitudes that have walked this path before me and of the multitudes that shall follow in my footsteps, I continue with enthusiasm to paint my perceptions of the world as I experience it. The “disappearing” images in this showing were created by superimposing several paintings, one over the other, with each piece telling a story or making a historical comment.
During the past year, I had the privilege to be chosen as an artist-in-residence at Caribou Ranch Open Space near Nederland, Colorado. Several of the paintings you see here are part of my artistic diary painted during the week of idyllic tranquility that I spent at Caribou.
Others are depictions of subject matter that I relish…
a magic moment, the glories of nature, and the evidence I find of the pulse of life, both past and present. I hope that those who view my art will experience the
happiness I felt as I created it. Enjoy!
Anne’s artwork is on display in the Arts Resource space for the months of May and June.
