Abstract expressionist Ann Shogren depicts vivid landscapes and paints tapestries of colors that have simultaneously calming and rejuvenating effects on her audiences. Having lived in Iowa, Utah, and the California Wine Country, Shogren draws inspiration from the landscapes that surround her, creating energetic, colorful compositions that seem to have their own life upon the canvas. Shogren lives and works in Paso Robles, California.
