Ann Teliczan's work to be at The Bradley Art Gallery ongoing...starting end of March!

About the Artist

As a young child Ann Teliczan moved from her birthplace in Los Angeles to a little farming community nestled against the western slopes of the Cascade mountains near the Canadian border. Her earliest memories are of being just as fascinated by the smallest detail in a wildflower as she was in the beauty of a worn out old shack or weathered tombstone. Ann saw beauty in overcast rainy days, a battle between brilliantly green grass and the ever hazy overcast world that would frequently envelop her family for weeks. She lived in a world of contrasts and contradictions.

Teliczan studied illustration, graphic design and photography as a student at William James College, a liberal arts college that emphasized philosophical thinking. There, she began exploring expressing herself with illustrations and hand colored black and white photography. Today Ann's creative energy marries the realism of digital captures, use of painting techniques and high tech archival printing methods on watercolor paper and canvas.

Ann's work will be in the gallery as of the end of March. There will be a special opening with Ann attending all day on April 24th from 10-6. Come and meet Ann and enjoy the festivities of our Annual Spring Fling Event. There will be live music and refreshments as well! The Event runs both Sat and Sun April 24-25th 10-6 with Live Music and refreshments both days. Ann will be here only on Saturday however! Mark your calendars! More on this event soon!

New Artist coming next week! Brian McCormick

Madison watercolor artist, Brian McCormick will be exhibiting here beginngin March 11th. "I think of my watercolor landscapes as intimate. They are not of big skies or distant views but reflect the narrow valleys and abrupt hills of the Driftless Region of Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa: an area untouched by the leveling "drift" of the Ice Age glaciers. My response to the region is a closer focus and more of an emphasis on the flat picture plane instead of perspective. The paintings are also intimate in their focus on the patterns found in the landscapes: the repetition of the forms and color of leaf, flower, stem, branch and tree trunk. My interest in pattern has limited my use of the traditional large areas of watercolor washes-instead I use smaller broken areas of paint that reflect the individual mark of the brush and that create a pattern. I'm drawn to the somber colors and the starker, less appreciated season of late fall when the glory of the brilliant foliage is gone or long past its peak, or winter with its austere color schemes and high contrasts. I work in two formats: square and "triple-square"(one by three units.) I believe these more rigid formats draw more attention to the shape of the painting and help to create a tension between the painting as a referential image and the painting as an object. "
