About | Abby Zonies is an expressionist painter. She uses gouache on paper to explore essential ingredients of making a painting, color, gesture, and movement. Ten years ago, she moved to New York and began to work in gouache. She was trained as an observational painter. Much to her surprise, Zonies asked herself, "What would my paintings look like if I no longer paint from observation?” Slowly the marks became liberated from the image. Zonies appreciate the qualities of gouache that make it special. It is water soluble, has a quick drying time, and gorgeous rich color that surprises you as it changes during the drying process. Her priority is to make a visually evocative piece that celebrates the essentials of painting.
