Anne Neely: Hidden in Plain Sight
Curated by Sarah Sze

November 2 – December 16, 2017

For over four decades I have cherished the transformative act of making art. For many years my paintings were about beauty and foreboding in the natural world with an emphasis on water issues in the last decade. I have used my curiosity about this world to explore, respond, reinvent and express ideas through painting. Scientific knowledge was a base from which I began a painting about the environment and from there I would imagine. Now with far fewer days on the planet in front of me than behind, I have shifted my focus from the external world and turned inward, only to discover stories that have surrounded me all my life.
