Artist's
Statement - Anna Rappaport
I work to express feelings and capture
the essence of the world around me through color and line. I focus
on combining color with texture and movement. I work on paper using
mixed media, collage, watercolor, pastels, and ink drawings.
I like to select themes from the real
world and use as a basis for series expressing feelings about those
themes. Abstraction is used in all of these series. Here are
examples from four series in development.
The
third series builds from images and figures in parades.
There are two different parades underlying these paintings. One
is based on an imaginative animals parade and the other on a parade
featuring large puppets. Both of these are parades were
presented at Walt Disney World in Florida.
Anna Rappaport has painted for many years
while pursuing a busy career as an Actuary. For many years, she has
shared her artwork with others on her Christmas cards and in her office
and home. She previously exhibited at Inside Art in Chicago and at
Gypsy's Cove. After her retirement from consulting, she is now
focusing much more on her art.
