ABOUT ANNE

My mixed media mosaic practice is a reflection of a lifelong journey through different art forms, bringing together diverse skills, materials and influences into a single visual language. In many ways, mosaics mirror my own creative history: fragments coming together to create something whole.

​

A fascination with geology, first sparked during a degree course many years ago, continues to shape and inspire my work. Deeply rooted in my local environment, I feel a strong affinity with the Purbeck coast, where the landscape, rock formations and geological history provide a constant source of inspiration.

​

I am drawn to colour, texture, detail and the stories held within natural materials. My current practice combines mixed media techniques with locally sourced rocks and minerals, exploring the relationships between place, memory and material. Increasingly, I am incorporating paints made from natural pigments, extending my connection to the landscapes that inspire me.

​

Responding directly to place is central to my process. I collect materials from the locations that resonate with me and create works that express both what I see and what I feel. Using natural materials and handmade implements, I seek to capture the character, energy and essence of the environment, creating mosaics and mixed media pieces that celebrate the beauty, complexity and history of the natural world.
