Now a full time painter, Gorbett&#8217;s work can be seen at The Artist&#8217;s Studio &amp; Gallery at Patriot Place in Foxboro, MA and The Red Inn in Provincetown, MA. Her work can also be seen online by following her blog: anngorbett.blogspot.com, on Facebook: Ann Gorbett Palette Knife Paintings, and on Instagram: @anngorbett.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I enjoy recreating old family photos as oil paintings as a way of capturing the period fashions, the architecture, the furnishings, and the memories from these nostalgic times. This painting was inspired by a 1970s family photograph of my mother and two friends at a holiday gathering. I found the photo among our family&#8217;s many photo albums and it reminded me our home in Cleveland and the living room that we were only allowed to use when company came over. The 3 gold keys on the wall were one of my mother&#8217;s favorite decorating elements (she was a Kappa at Miami as was I) and they moved with us where ever we went.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1018\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/a-fa-e-fall2021\/files\/2021\/06\/Gorbett_cocktail-hour-1024x1018.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/a-fa-e-fall2021\/files\/2021\/06\/Gorbett_cocktail-hour-1024x1018.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/a-fa-e-fall2021\/files\/2021\/06\/Gorbett_cocktail-hour-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/a-fa-e-fall2021\/files\/2021\/06\/Gorbett_cocktail-hour-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/a-fa-e-fall2021\/files\/2021\/06\/Gorbett_cocktail-hour-768x764.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/a-fa-e-fall2021\/files\/2021\/06\/Gorbett_cocktail-hour-624x621.jpg 624w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/a-fa-e-fall2021\/files\/2021\/06\/Gorbett_cocktail-hour.jpg 1810w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>After graduating from Miami University in 1984 with a BFA, Ann Gorbett found her way to Boston where she has lived for 30 years working <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/a-fa-e-fall2021\/2021\/11\/cocktail-hour-ann-m-gorbett\/\" title=\"Cocktail Hour, Ann M.
