Yes Dear by Ann Manuel
the Andrew and Laura McCain Art Gallery
Ann Manuel produces oil paintings, drawings, prints, and installations
that centre around the idea of competing and overlapping feminine
identities. She uses floating figures as a metaphor for the
mother and juxtaposes them with groups of young girls strung
between moments of tension and calm.
Ann is a true polymath of artistic media. She constantly experiments and explores, from painting to print- making, into photography and installation-based sculpture, she has an interest in conveying a message at every level of an artistic work - from the material to the subject.
Ann Manuel has lived and worked as a visual artist and art educator across Canada and around the world. She has a BFA from Mount Allison University, a BEd from Queen's University and a Masters of Arts from the University of British Columbia and has been exhibiting since 1973
