Kristin Ann Fuller

I am a Baltimore based abstract artist working in oil paint, printmaking, collage, and photography.

​

In my junior year of college, at Kutztown University, I was given permission to make abstract art. I say “given permission” because at that time, I thought of abstract art as something very special; something that had a deeper meaning. It seemed to me to be something that was difficult. It was as if I was asking to be accepted by the abstract artists of the past. I was afraid that I would fall short and disgrace those who worked so hard to define the movement.

One of my professors led me to the works of Milton Resnick and Clyfford Still. I very soon found out that abstract art was extremely difficult and very special and abundant with meaning. The Abstract Expressionist and their Surrealist cohorts, who pioneered abstract art in America in the mid-20th Century, became my “Old Masters”. 

I've been working exclusively in abstraction and non-representational because my voice is best received through my expressive brushstrokes.
The reverence I have for abstract art has not wavered since the time I opened a book of Milton Resnick's work. Even after 30 years of practice, I'm still learning. It is still difficult, for which I am grateful. I believe that you must fail in order to learn, and you must learn in order to grow. Without growth there is no point to practicing.
