June 20th – August 9th, 2019
Vereen Gallery
This exhibit consists of a selection of original paintings featuring subjects that include equine, figure and still life. Ann Goble works in oils and is influenced by the fluid, painterly style of masters such as Sargent, Maurer, and Serov. She has participated in many juried shows and has received numerous awards for her work. Her works have been published in national magazines including Southwest Art and Western Art Collector. Her paintings are part of many private collections.
“Painting is for me, a search for beauty. I am especially intrigued by the anatomical power and vitality of horses. Their sheer intensity can be seen through the rendering of light as it reflects from a sweat drenched coat or the amber gaze of a horse at day break. Conveying the vibrations of nature is my goal, and it is my hope that the viewer’s alliance with the painting brings to art its truest beauty.”- Ann Goble

Simpson. Students learn about color mixing, proportions, and work primarily in acrylics. Each piece is
imagined and created solely by each artist. This class structure allows for each student to work at their
