Light and nature are the main sources of inspiration in my work. I’m interested in the power of light to create a sense of time and familiarity. — Anna Membrino

In Membrino’s recent work she manipulates assemblages of two dimensional and three-dimensional forms. Her paintings hover between the canons of still life and landscape painting with a nod to abstraction. Light pours into the works, breathing life into bare landscapes intentionally devoid of figures or structures. Thoughtfully placed objects within the composition might inform the viewer as to a date of existence. Light becomes the sole storyteller in Membrino’s paintings.

Her work is held in prominent public and private collections including the Dallas Museum of Art; the Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville; the Fidelity Permanent Collection, Boston; and UT Southwestern Medical Center, Fort Worth. Membrino’s work has been featured in New American Paintings, Patron Magazine, Paper City Magazine, Juxtapose, and D Magazine.
