Annette Twist

As a photo artist, I intend the viewer to see my work
more as paintings than as photographs. The photographic medium enables me to
create images that are in the tradition of Impressionism and
abstraction. Capturing the image within the camera, the image
processing and the printing process are equally important to my
practice. I have long been fascinated with the abstractions
created by reflective surfaces, simple movements of the camera and the details
available at close range

A 2005 graduate of the Studio Arts program at the
University of Guelph, I
have continued to develop my practice and the uniqueness of imagery by joining
international photo tours that have included several in Italy, and South India.
Travel has been a significant source for image making.

I exhibit regionally including the Guelph Studio
Tour, the “Art On The Street” as well as local restaurants and office venues. In
addition to my home studio, my work can be seen at the MacDonald Stewart Art
Centre Gift Shop. From 2004-2009, served as the volunteer manager of the Arts
sales & rentals of MSAC.
