About the Item

Experience the energy and beauty of the coastline in Rocky Shore (1967), a stunning original oil painting on canvas by acclaimed artist Ann Sink (1924-2019). This vibrant abstract seascape captures the movement and depth of the ocean with bold shades of green and blue, skillfully layered to evoke the raw power and tranquility of the sea. Sink’s masterful use of color and texture blends abstraction with nature, making this piece a visually striking and emotionally evocative addition to any collection. Presented in its original vintage frame, this mid-century artwork maintains its authentic charm. The outer frame dimensions measure 16.5 x 20.5 inches, with the canvas itself at 15.75 x 19.75 inches—a perfect statement piece for modern, coastal, or abstract art lovers. About the Artist – Ann Sink (1924-2019) A Santa Fe native, Ann Sink began her artistic journey early, later earning a degree from Bennington College. She honed her skills in Mexico City and Caracas before settling in Denver in 1950. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, she balanced painting with raising a family, later returning to art full-time and becoming a respected educator and arts advocate. Ann received her art education certification from Denver University and dedicated years to teaching and mentoring young artists through programs like the Scholastic Art Awards. She was a long-time volunteer at the Denver Art Museum, where she was honored with the Cile Bach Award and the 50-Year Award for her contributions. A founding member of "The Nine" and a signature member of the Colorado Watercolor Society, she played a pivotal role in the region’s art scene. Her work is held in private and corporate collections and has been exhibited at prestigious venues, including the Denver Art Museum and the Rocky Mountain National Watercolor Show. Rocky Shore is a beautiful fusion of mid-century abstraction and nature-inspired artistry, offering a unique glimpse into the talent and vision of Ann Sink. Ideal for collectors of modernist, coastal, or abstract paintings, this piece is a timeless addition to any fine art collection.
