Social Night, Ann Wagner - Fluid Art using alcohol inks

Ann Wagner - Fluid Art using alcohol inks

Ann previously had a career in Architecture but since retirement has moved into new creative artistic directions. She has explored a range of media including watercolour with teachers Lyn Robins and Margaret Tuckey.

With acrylics, Ann was inspired to paint seaside aerials, in her own style using layers of colour, texture and glazing to bring a unique sense of storytelling to each piece.

With her design background, Ann became interested in developing a linear abstract impression of the Australian landscape, creating harmonious and interesting shapes to interpret the land, sea and sky.

The earthy, vibrant colours of the outback, are a strong influence from visiting Central Australia.

A more recent dimension to Ann’s work, has been her experimentation with using alcohol inks and coloured pens on Yupo paper to create vibrant, luscious and colourful pieces each with its own theme such as Botanical, Coral Reefs, Cactus Gardens.

Ann’s work has been exhibited at many solo and group exhibitions such as Artworx at Goolwa and The Art Centre at Port Noarlunga.

For our Social Night, Ann will talk about her art and demonstrate the use of alcohol inks. Lyn Robins will join us to add commentary and questions.
