Anette Lusher

Anette Lusher was born in Hannover, Germany but works and lives in Washington State. Her work consists of vividly luscious landscapes transformed into magically textured abstracts that express her visionary response to the world around us. Each of her works tells a story, relates to life events, and depicts emotional, spiritual, and conceptual ideas. Many of my paintings are highly textured which I achieve through pooling, dribbling, and layering of paint. Each layer acts as a metaphor of time the same way life unfolds. "When I view her work in person the word tactile immediatly came to mind. Thus I came up with the title of 'Tactuality' from the adjective 'tactual'- derived from or producing the sensation of touch." Dave Cassera
