Ann Gorbett is an award winning artist who paints exclusively with a palette knife. She holds a fine art degree from Miami University of Ohio and has worked as a professional graphic designer in Boston for many years. She began painting in oil again after taking a palette knife workshop and was immediately hooked. The thick, painterly, yet highly detailed strokes of color are trademarks of her style. Her work ranges in subject matter from city scenes to figurative paintings based on nostalgic family photographs. She is currently represented by Custom Art Framing & Gallery 9 in Norwood, MA and 13 Forest Gallery in Arlington, MA. Her work has also been selected by Dick Blick Art Materials to appear on the Painting Knives page of their 2010 Studio Catalog.
