My name is Anna and I live and work in Hertfordshire. I have always enjoyed the arts but it was in 2015 that I discovered my passion for abstract painting and began the to experiment with paint and collage.
At the time I was experiencing a series of traumatic life challenges and I found that painting enabled me to channel and express my emotions in a way that words and talking could not.
This was the start of my journey to self discovery and recovery. I realised the transformational power that creativity held and my hope is to share this with as many people as possible through art and mindfulness.
If you would like to find out more about how creativity and mindfulness can benefit your own wellbeing, do get in touch or visit my workshops page.
I am a self-taught, intuitive, abstract artist who uses a combination of techniques and mixed media to express and reflect my emotions. I am passionate about the natural world and often include themes inspired by my time spent outdoors or forest bathing. I find that using recycled materials in my art adds an addition layer of authenticity to my work.
When I begin a new piece I will have a thought of what I want to create, but often ideas manifest and flow as the artwork develops. I enjoy the freedom this brings and I find the whole process of creating an artwork incredibly mindful, intuitive and relaxing.
I exhibit locally, run therapeutic art workshops for adults, paint murals and community art projects, and work locally supporting people's wellbeing through various creative projects and social prescribing.
During 2020, I founded The Dacorum Creatives and set up an Art Hub in the Marlowes Shopping centre in Hemel Hempstead. The Gallery remained open until spring of 2023 and I have plans to reopen a similar project in 2024. I am so proud of this project as it not only gave local artists the opportunity to exhibit and sell their work but also grew a supportive community for artists; a space to share ideas and good practice and build lasting friendships.
In the meantime I am hosting a monthly Art Fair at Sunnyside Rural Trust in Hemel Hempstead.
Another passion I have recently rekindled is creating street art and murals. I have worked collaboratively with local charities and organisations recently to design and paint benches and planters for Hemel Old Town High Street and I hope to be creating some public art in Berkhamsted and Watford in the near future!
