ABOUT

Agnes Gummere is an artist and interior designer whose work ranges from oil paintings to residential interior design projects. Throughout her lifelong passion for art and design, she has channeled influences from art history, centuries-old oil painting techniques, as well as digital mediums. Growing up in Philadelphia, and earning her Bachelors of Science in Interior Design from Drexel University Westphal College of Media Arts & Design, she has always found inspiration from the city’s rich history of art, design and architecture, as well as museums and galleries.

Agnes’s creative practice stems from both her genuine enjoyment of painting, as well as a passion for portraying people, capturing their sense of character and emotion in layers of oil paint created over time. Her body of work, includes portrait commissions, figure paintings, and architectural illustrations. Often times she incorporates oil paint, pastel, and graphite, layered to achieve an ambient quality of light, texture, dimension, and realism. Her style is realistic, overlaid with drips, abrasions, and markings, embracing the process as much as the product.
