Originally from the North West of England Ann became a full time artist in 2021 when she moved to Cornwall.
Ann is an artist who uses traditional and modern materials to create vibrant, contemporary paintings and hand-finished, limited edition, fine art prints. Her painting are semi-abstract in style and capture the emotions that resonate from mood, place and feeling, most recently around the Cornish coast and moorland.
Artist’s statement
Drawn to the extraordinary in the everyday, I am inspired by the possibilities of creating a painting that takes the viewer beyond a representational image and into an interpretation of it using abstraction of shapes and shading.
Through my painting I am looking to capture a unique mood and sense of a place, be it in landscape or still life, and by looking beyond the obvious to portray the uniqueness of a subject by moving from direct observation to imagination.
