Anne Garney is an artist that i came across whilst looking through some city research and she paints city scenes on site with a high colour saturation and in a very blocky style. I would consider this blocky style as a comment on the rigidness of cities and it really relates to the point Baudrillard made in the quote i chose as a starting point, as cities being the same.
On Anne Garney's website it states that her preferences to subject matters are,
"...buildings, something man-made, set amidst the beauty of nature. I’m looking at color, light, composition, and the movement within the picture. I like a composition that draws you into the scene and that may have one or two secondary focal points which add depth and interest."
She paints natural subjects within the midst of a cities landscape to make nature more accessible and relative to her targeted audience of whom are city based. This relationship between man made buildings and nature is really understood by the audience as their supposed day-to-day views of natural beauty is that of which is included within Garney's paintings.
