About
Hi There
My name is Anne and I'm privileged to live in beautiful Hervey Bay in Queensland, Australia.
I have been practising art for many years; however, as I don't sell my work, I have never called myself an artist. Instead, I either create pieces as gifts for family and friends for special occasions, or I may just do something intuitively and then gift the piece to somebody who connects with it emotionally.
To me, seeing a deep, meaningful reaction from people to my artistic gifts is absolutely priceless and heart-warming. To walk into someone's home and see my artwork still taking pride of place after 20 or 30 years means so much more to me than any monetary gain.
My Background
The Future
Please note: Flash the Kelpie on black artist paper showing the technique and progress as it comes together. Each stage is labelled to show its development, from Beginning, Part 1, through to the completed artwork.
