Biography

In 2014 Anna completed a BA in Fine Art at Nottingham Trent University, and has since then exhibited and produced commissions in the UK and abroad.  Alongside working as an artist Anna qualified as an Art Therapist in 2016 and works at an adult mental health inpatient unit.  Anna has found continuing her art practice alongside her art therapy work to be beneficial to reflect on her caseload and to continue to use art to express herself and explore her art practice.

Artist Statement

Anna makes paintings, installations and drawings using painted drips, white space and transparent materials to question representations of people in a specific space and time.
