Ann Gorbett is a Massachusetts-based contemporary oil painter known for her expressive palette knife paintings defined by thick, sculptural strokes of color and rich surface texture. Painting exclusively with a palette knife, Ann creates bold, painterly oil paintings that bring energy and depth to cityscapes, florals, and figurative works inspired by nostalgic family photographs. Her distinctive technique results in highly textured, collectible fine art that stands out in both modern and traditional interiors. Based in Walpole, Massachusetts, Ann holds a fine art degree from Miami University and spent many years working as a professional graphic designer in Boston. She returned to oil painting in 2008 after attending a transformative palette knife workshop, an experience that immediately defined her artistic direction and signature style. Ann’s original oil paintings have been represented by The Artists Studio & Gallery at Patriot Place and exhibited at The Red Inn, as well as in numerous gallery shows throughout New England. Her work appeals to collectors seeking vibrant, textured oil paintings with a contemporary yet timeless sensibility. In addition to available original artwork, Ann welcomes commission projects, collaborating with clients to create custom oil paintings that capture meaningful places, florals, or treasured family moments with her signature palette knife technique.
