Discovering metaphors in abstract photography.

“Square pegs can fit in round holes.

You just have to give them a chance.“

Sparking imagination, encouraging open-mindedness, and making sense out of life.

Hi, I’m Ann. I see things.

I am an abstract photographer with an eye for detail, a champion of things overlooked, and a weaver of patterns of connection.

My abstract photography is my muse.

I think deeply. It helps me make sense of the world.

Then I write.

I create metaphors from my abstract photos.

Metaphors stretch how we think. Adding words to these abstract photos bridges gaps in understanding.

Words can build a connection between us. And that creates a community.

Peace, calm, and inspiration. I hope that’s what you find here. And once in a while, a chuckle.

Welcome to Annstracts.

Now go see things.

Testimonial examples.

This is why I do what I do.

The benefits of abstract photography art.

“…abstract art frees our brain from the dominance of reality, enabling it to flow within its inner states, create new emotional and cognitive associations, and activate brain-states that are otherwise harder to access. This process is apparently rewarding as it enables the exploration of yet undiscovered inner territories of the viewer’s brain.

Inspiring messages to live with.

When we connect with art, we are connecting with ourselves. The artwork you decorate with inspires you, makes you feel appreciative, and sparks meaningful conversations with others.

That statement “go big or go home?” Well, go home with big! There’s nothing like walking into a room with a statement.

My art is available in several sizes so you can select the right size to inspire your world whether that’s the small space over the bathroom commode or the huge space above the sofa.

Unique, authentic, and original abstract photography art to express your style.

Because these are offered directly from me, the artist, you’ll have a unique piece of art.

And since I love writing about it, you’ll appreciate it more.

Plus, you won’t see the same artwork in the doctor’s lobby, in the grocery store bathroom, or in your neighbor’s house. I seriously keep seeing one abstract piece in all of these places. So sad. There’s so much art in the world, and yet the big box chains just sell the same thing over and over because it hit some algorithm.

Express yourself for goodness sake with art that speaks to YOU.
