Artist Statement

STATEMENT: Ann Constance Guiliani www.annguilianiartist.com
November of 2024, I made the big move from Cape Cod, Massachusetts to Ithaca, New York to be closer to family. In my paintings, drawings and prints, I continue engaging with concepts of movement and change and exploring wind, rain and atmospheric alterations of color and light. However, this environment has changed into never ending expanses of hills and valleys and of course the magnificent waterfalls which challenge concepts of movement and change in a different way. I continue exploring wind, rain and atmospheric changes of color and light. However, a college town with Cornell University, has opened my art to consider the linkage of science and the ecological as well as political implications of a constantly changing world. Additionally, as a printmaker as well as a painter, there is an underlying exploration with a multitude of materials and techniques and a spirit of invention in a quest to convey my own intimate vocabulary in the marks I make. I let my art lead me where IT wants to go. I forego labels of styles and most likely will never be placed in any one genre.
