Anne is a talented painter and printmaker based in the North Pennines, whose work captures the breathtaking landscapes of the Lake District, the Dales, and surrounding areas. With a deep connection to the natural world, Anne's subjects often focus on broad pastoral landscapes, occasionally incorporating farm scenes and elements of the wider natural environment.

Anne's paintings are celebrated for their vibrant colours and dynamic compositions, which transport viewers into the heart of the landscape. Her work invites you to experience the rugged beauty of the Lake District capturing the light, texture, and atmosphere of this striking location.

Working from her studio nestled in woodland, Anne often draws inspiration from the surrounding trees, which feature prominently in her art. Whether standing as quiet sentinels in the distance or forming intricate, textured patterns in the foreground, trees in Anne’s work serve to frame and enrich her landscapes, adding depth and character. Her ability to capture the life and spirit of these natural forms reflects her intimate relationship with her environment.

Anne's artistic journey began with her studies in Natural History Illustration at Sunderland Polytechnic, followed by a fine art MA at Northumbria University. Influenced by both local artists like Sheila Fell and iconic figures such as Cezanne and Van Gogh, Anne brings a distinctive and expressive energy to her work.

For over 30 years, Anne has sold her watercolours and prints, showcasing the enduring charm and raw beauty of Northern England. Her pieces are a testament to her passion for the land and her skill in translating its essence into compelling visual art.
