Further Information:

 

Anna grew up in Cornwall, moved briefly to Glasgow and has since settled in Suffolk.  After a career in the travel industry and bringing up two children Anna recently fulfilled a long held ambition to study art and gained a BA (Hons) degree in Fine Art from Colchester School of Art and Design.

 

At present she building a portfolio of work to exhibit and teaching adults the joys of drawing and painting at her twice weekly classes in Nayland.

Anna hopes within her work to show there can be beauty within ageing and those marks of time should be venerated for the life travelled, character and memories they evoke.

 

These works are stimulated from a collection of photographs taken of an antique steamer trunk, which revealed the marks, colours and textures created through use, deterioration and time.  To replicate the textures and colours she uses a combination of photographic transfer with paint and mixed media on canvas and hardboard.

 

Anna has recently been exploring figurative sculpture using a medium which enables them to go inside or outside.
