Annette Palmer
I am a visual artist originally from Scotland. After many relocations I returned “home” to Texas with my family in 2006 and became an American citizen in 2019.
Growing up in a creative environment, and spending majority of my senior high school year in the school art department, my teenage years were spent with other creatives, we made our own clothes and held fashion shows, and were immersed in music and art. My formal art education was at Edinburgh College of Art, where I graduated with a BA Hons in Art and Design in 1989. I then worked as a fashion designer, eventually starting my own fashion label in Singapore.
Returning to Texas in 2006, I immersed myself in art, drawing, painting, teaching, curating and exhibiting my work.
When I am working, I tend to dip back and forth between my more academic figurative drawings and my paintings of emotional land and seascapes. The head and the heart, the practical and the frivolous, the left and right sides of the brain. Regardless, both my figurative pieces and emotional land and seascapes explore connection, emotional energy, and distance, which I present in a fusion of paint and experimental textures, with elements of collage work, found pieces and metallic finishes. I invite the viewer to dive in and stay a while.
