Ann has been painting since her late teens and has been a professional artist since 2008. The landscape is her primary inspiration, particularly mountain and woodland views which she encounters while walking near her home in rural Cambridgeshire and in the Lake District. Her aim is to convey the light and "feel” of a scene, rather than simply the view. 

Having concentrated for many years on scenery, she now makes occasional forays into urban landscapes, searching for beauty and drama wherever she travels. London and Venice have featured recently, requiring a very different palette and approach. Further afield, her regular trips to New Zealand also provide inspiration (and bigger mountains)!

 Ann generally chooses the medium according to the subject and will sometimes paint the same scene twice in different media. Watercolour, pastel and acrylic have been her mainstays for many years, but she has recently added oil paints to her repertoire, particularly for her mountain landscapes. She also paints portrait and landscape commissions.
