Ann Latinovich is a multidisciplinary artist whose garden, studio, writing, and visual work form one living practice.

Working across drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, installation, and film, she develops immersive bodies of work shaped by sustained observation, material experimentation, and lived experience.

One Living Practice

Latinovich’s work develops through long relationships with materials, images, living forms, and ideas. Much of the botanical material that enters her work is grown in her own garden. She follows it from seed, tuber, and bulb through bloom, decline, dormancy, and return.

The garden and the studio continually shape one another. Cultivation changes what she notices. Drawing and photography deepen that attention. Writing gives language to discoveries that often begin through the hand.

Her work moves freely across media because each form belongs to the same inquiry. A photograph may become the source of a drawing. A drawing may become an installation. A flower grown over several seasons may reappear as color, structure, memory, or atmosphere. Each body of work develops its own symbolic world while remaining rooted in the same living system.

ANN LATINOVICH MAKES MOOT THE AGE-OLD DEBATE ABOUT WHICH ARTFORM IS SUPERIOR. SHE HAS CREATED HER OWN MEDIUM: IT'S CALLED THE POSSIBLE.

The Artist

Latinovich has maintained a lifelong drawing practice while working across fine art, photography, design, writing, and large-scale installation. Her work has developed through decades of looking, making, collecting, cultivating, and returning to the same persistent questions through different forms.

Working With Space

Before dedicating my practice entirely to fine art, I spent nearly twenty years creating commissioned portrait installations for private homes and institutions.

That experience taught me to think beyond individual works and consider how art lives within architecture, light, and the daily rhythms of a space.

Today, that understanding continues to inform every body of work I create.

Becoming Eros

Latinovich is currently developing Becoming Eros, an evolving body of work centered on vitality, embodiment, return, and the creative force that reorganizes a life.

The hare moves through the work as an archetypal presence. Its anatomy, alertness, vulnerability, speed, and capacity for sudden movement have become part of the collection’s visual and psychological language.

The work spans drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, installation, and writing.
