ABOUt Anna

I am a self taught artist who transitioned to painting following a career in fashion photography. My paintings explore intrinsic human themes - lust, grief, femininity and nature.

Through the medium of fashion photography I had been making visual art for a decade before the pandemic of 2020 caused me to have a total reassessment of what I wanted to do with my life. I quit the world of fashion and began to make paintings that reflected what I actually believe in.

 

I find myself very preoccupied with climate and societal breakdown and the part we are playing in our own destruction. Natural elements in my paintings express connection, vulnerability and mortality.

I am developing several new projects in London after a year of travelling and painting the natural world in Mexico, Peru and Colombia.
