Born in Lancashire in the sixties, Anne spent her childhood growing up in the Derbyshire countryside before moving to the North East of England and eventually to London where she lives today.

Anne's inspiration derives mainly from the British landscape; coastal, rural and urban. She explores the way human-made structures and marks impact the landscape, creating formal pattern and line alongside the informality of natural elements. In this way, her paintings explore the contrast between what is natural and what is built.

Colour is an important element of the work and whether it is the lush greens of the Derbyshire Dales or the delicate yellows and pinks of a Cornish coastal town, there is always a sense of the joy of colour in her paintings.

The paintings are small, often no bigger than 30cm at their largest, and it is their intimate scale that draws the viewer in and invites them to look closer at the layers and complexity under the surface.
