Annette Gloomis

Annette Gloomis is an American artist whose concentration on painting the sublime in nature has garnered great attention and praise in the United States and abroad.

She is known for her diversity of creative application and her contributions to community. Gloomis currently lives and works in Shepherdstown, West Virginia; in Safety Harbor, Florida; and in Cambutal, Los Santos, Panama; drawing inspiration from the variety these different environments offer.

Gloomis’ fine art painting is an ode to Mother Earth, with an awareness of the environmental and social issues we face today, including the loss of connection with the “outside” and the observation of daily phenomena. Her themes are those of beauty and quietness, beckoning the viewer to enter the realm of nature and meditate on our relationship with the earth.

Balancing a great attention to detail while also embodying simplicity, her paintings have an aura of timelessness and mystery that leaves the viewer wanting more.

“I am a painter inspired by the environments around me. The observation of nature, the landscape, seascape and the sunset has been a daily practice of awareness for me for as long as I can remember.”
