- Ann Salisbury is a
watermedia artist whose distinctive techniques have
earned her national recognition. She is a signature
member of both the National Watercolor Society and the
Southern Watercolor Society, and has been featured in
several watercolor books and magazines.
- She is known for her bold
paintings of floral subjects. She finds flowers to be
endlessly fascinating as she works with their complex
shapes, glowing color and luminous shadows. For years
she worked in, and taught classes in, traditional
watercolor. When she became frustrated with the
physical limitations of watercolor's ability to attain
the transparent brilliance she wanted, she developed a
technique of glazing with acrylic paints in a
watercolor technique. This technique was featured in
an article about Ann which appeared in American Artist
magazine.

- Her paintings are filled
with intense and glowing transparent color contrasted
with rich and opaques dark backgrounds. They go beyond
the usual genre of floral watercolors in their
treatment of flowers as strong design elements. There
is a line from Virginia Woolf that refers to "...that
hour between six and seven when every flower
glows...". Ann Salisbury's paintings are her attempt
to capture that magic moment.
