Uniquely vibrant and emotional landscapes

Anna’s creative reconstructions of the landscape capture the beauty and dynamism of stunning harbour locations bathed by vivid sunsets. It is the grouping of colours in a scene that initially attracts her and this visual harmony compels her to create her own image in response. Each vibrant piece portrays the energy and emotion of the environment with what the artist describes as “exploding skies” which release a whole spectrum of radiant and dramatic colours.

Anna paints intuitively, using an array of tools including brushes, sponges, palette knives and even her hands, letting her instinct take over. She has become increasingly dedicated to oils as her main medium, spending a great deal of time learning how they behave and can be manipulated. She does mix her media to a degree, using spray paint, metallic acrylic paints and inks to add interest and texture to some of her works.
