The beautiful work of Chicago-based artist Anna Rae Gilbert is informed by an interest in architecture as a living organism, the evolution of personal and objective narrative in dwellings, and a playfulness in composition. In each piece, there are equal parts sincerity, provocation and dry humor.
In trying to categorize the common thread within each work of art, the category Ann Rae drew up was Intuitional Abstract. Her lines and palettes are driven with sentimentality as she taps into emotion, nostalgia, and capturing a heightened occasions.
