Anne Hendrick (b.1983) Lushgreenlands Mixed media on canvas, 15.75cm diameter Signed and dated 2006 verso Anne studied Fine Art Painting & Art History at NCAD. She graduated in 2006. She is currently working as a full time artist. Artist's Statement: My works initial primary source is almost always my own photography; secondary sources vary from 'National Geographic' to Darwin's travel diaries. The paintings aim to document the intangible and attempt to invite a kind of narrative interpretation and yet never wholly reveal it. The work is in essence a visual manifestation of thoughts in an attempt to make meaning from landscape and the tradition of landscape painting. Art historical references are fundamental to the works development. Smaller works act as fragments of memories and images which are gathered and reinterpreted through paint, which itself naturally alludes to associations. Through paint I aim to make the transition from headspace to actuality.
