About The Artist
Ann Pollard grew up in Plainview, Texas. She spent 25 years living in the Washington DC area
where she studied extensively at the Alexandria Art League in Alexandria, VA. She returned to
the southwest in 1990 where she has continued to actively pursue her love of painting and now
resides and works in Placitas, NM.
Ann has painted all her life. Her paternal grandmother, Martha Robinson, was a notable painter
and Ann was always fascinated by not only the paintings, but also by the direct and intuitive
process used by her grandmother to make the work.
Working in either an abstract or impressionist style in acrylic and mixed media, Ann Pollard
paints with a heart intuition and instinct, not concerning herself with conventionality and often
abandoning literal representation. Her goal is to create pictorial harmony while ever stressing
the importance of intuitive expression. She works exclusively with sponge, pallet knife and
fingers which allows looseness and freedom for creativity to flow.
Bold color, pattern, and texture are paramount in Pollard’s work, creating lush layers of washes,
glazes and impastos which unite to form the spirit of the whole. She likes the combination of
the many effects throughout the depths of layers which create a varied and interesting surface
area. There is never a preconceived plan, no drawing. She finds it exciting to let intuition serve
the expression of each experience. She trusts that the relationship of all the colors and textures
result in an uplifting, joyful living harmony.
Ann Pollard’s work has been featured in solo and group shows in the Washington DC area,
throughout Texas and New Mexico. She has received numerous awards and her work appears in
public and private collections throughout the United States and Mexico.
Her work is represented by Houshang’s Gallery, Santa Fe, NM; Windchime Champagne Gallery,
Albuquerque, NM; Ward-Nasse Gallery, New York, NY.
