Meet artist Anne Garvey in studio.
Artist Anne Garvey lives and works in Oakland, California.
Anne Garvey is a contemporary visual artist based in Oakland, California. Though her artwork spans a variety of media, she is primarily known for her realistic paintings of people and tangled objects. Garvey’s work represents both the inner and outer realities of human existence. With a strong sense of connection between body and mind, Garvey incorporates her interest in mental states such as anxiety, hope, anticipation, and despair. Her continued work with youth and victims of trauma further influence these themes, with cords, yarn, branches, and other objects serving as metaphors for thought processes and problem solving.
Garvey describes the act of physically painting as cathartic, for herself as well as the viewer, creating tangles that will never be solved. In doing so, we are reminded of the almost constant battles we face within ourselves, while recognizing the shared commonality of those challenges.
