About

Ann Armstrong is a Dublin Artist. Her primary passion is painting, using oil, watercolour, wood block print and photography.

Ann explores ways of expressing the landscape through visual patterns which underpin life. Her interest lies in the biological draw of the landscape where she focuses on macrocosms and microcosms creating internal landscapes in a surreal and imaginative way. With her scientific background Ann captures some of the analogies that are present in nature. The landscape is a rich source of artistic expression and is a powerful stimulus for on-going creativity in her practice.
