About

Ann grew up in Norfolk, a place renowned for its flat landscape and big skies. She took an art foundation course at Great Yarmouth on the East Anglian coast followed by a Fine Art degree at Trent Polytechnic in Nottingham, where she took Painting and Print making. After this she moved around, gradually moving further and further South until she ended up in this particularly beautiful part of Oxfordshire

This work is mostly inspired by Ann's life in and around the Goring gap, in Oxfordshire, and visits to her family in Norfolk.She uses a variety of print making and painting techniques, and her reference is taken from drawings, photographs and memories. She will often emphasise the seemingly insignificant or small things, sometimes giving them new and ambiguous meaning.

Ann believes it is important to keep looking and drawing, to understand the visual world around us. Half drawn scribbles in a notebook will often bring memories flooding back, as it means that she has really looked, really seen.

All the work is original, not mechanically reproduced, with the print making techniques often producing surprises which take the project off in a new direction.

Most work is for sale, please contact the artist. She has a studio near Wallingford, Oxfordshire. Visitors are welcome by appointment.
