"Night Hill" (2010) by American painter, Andrea Kowch, born in 1986 and known for her magic realist paintings of the Midwest which conjure up intriguing and unexplained narratives.

Acrylic on canvas, 91 x 61 cm, 36 x 24 in approx

Her haunting scenes have been compared to the work of Andrew Wyeth and Alfred Hitchcock. Like Wyeth, Kowch paints in a realist style, using rural settings as metaphors for her female subjects' internal states. As in Hitchcock's films, the scenes Kowch depicts are not what they seem; mysterious plots and backstories seem to lurk below the surface.

"I do see myself as a storyteller on several levels," says Kowch. "Telling stories through my work is something that comes very natural to me.

"While I usually begin work on a painting with a particular thought and message in mind, there are times when I see an image in my mind’s eye first, without any sort of specific literal meaning attached at that moment.

"Sometimes the meaning comes to light upon its completion, when I sit down to figure out why I painted it. The concepts and imagery that often come about on their own tend to be ignited by the simplest thing: the way a curtain moves in a hot summer breeze, for instance, might create a scenario in my head. I may imagine myself in an old farmhouse, feeling that same breeze rolling in over the surrounding fields just beyond the window. The canvas is where I am able to bring all these personal, imaginative musings to life, and realise them.
