Anne Raymond

"In both my large oils on canvas and my works on paper, I'm interested in the evocative power of inferred space and energy beyond the edges of the canvas. Glazes of translucent color and frequent compositional reference to a horizon speak of nature without evoking landscape.

My goal as an artist is to create powerful images that invite the viewer to move away from certainty and experience something new... even years after the first encounter."

-Anne Raymond
