Annie O'Brien Gonzales' paintings acquired for museum permanent collection!



Check out this Press Release on two of my paintings which have been acquired by The Art Museum of Eastern Idaho for their permanent collection:
 "The artist’s vibrant still lifes, landscapes and abstract paintings have graced the walls of Santa Fe's Matthews Gallery (http://thematthewsgallery.com) since 2010, and have made their way into private collections across the country. This winter Gonzales will receive yet another honor with her museum debut. New Acquisitions from TAM’s Permanent Collection(http://www.theartmuseum.org/Events.htm) runs from November 14 to December 28 at The Art Museum of Eastern Idaho. The museum selected the artist’s abstract works Alegria #1 and Acequia #2 for their collection. The oil paintings feature the bright, expressive palette and bold patterns that Gonzales has experimented with since she moved to New Mexico in hopes of becoming a professional artist. The career move was a lifetime in the making."
