Ann Hart

| Painter |
| Artist's Statement |
I use watercolour with a variety of other media to capture subtlety of colour and the clarity of the East Anglian light. My subject matter is drawn from the arable countryside surrounding my home, focusing on the ‘unremarkable’ trees of wood, hedge and roadside. I enjoy them particularly in winter when the unique character of each is revealed. Their response to human management, often over centuries, creates amazing forms which I use in my painting, either representationally or by developing them into more abstract works. People rarely appear in my paintings but signs of man’s activity are always evident.
