Join us this Wednesday at AROUND THE CORNER ART CENTER, 290 Mounts Corner Drive, Freehold, NJ. Bring a painting for critique.

Our speaker will be Ann Marie Fitzsimmons, whose paintings show the beauty of nature, with a touch of darkness.  Natural forms are juxtaposed with unnatural found objects to make the viewer ask questions.  Her paintings are thoughtfully cropped to create a visually exciting image that unites otherwise unrelated places or things in the same picture plane.

Program Topic, from Ann Marie.

Though my lifelong journey to create a masterpiece, I paint subjects that are original and aim to evoke emotion from their viewers. My talk will be about where I find inspiration for my art and how to make a visually interesting composition.

Ann Marie is also willing to offer critiques of artwork because we ALL learn from carefully “looking.” Attendees are invited to bring one piece of work for a critique.

Ann Marie currently teaches adults, teens and children at the Around the Corner Art Center in Freehold.
