Hi, I'm Ann. I "have" to create (is it a blessing or is it a bane?) I use various media, currently mainly paint, fibre and clay. In painting, although I often follow a theme or work in series, I never produce duplicates; each of my art pieces is an original. Most of my work is quite structured with a strong design element. I love colour and the elegant curve of a good line. I am looking to develop a more semi-abstract style in my painting.
The fibre-crafting aspect of my creating, like breadmaking, gives me a sense of connection back to pre-historic times - age-old techniques practised for the survival and comfort of humankind.
Pottery, of course, is of the very earth from which we are made and to which we shall return.
I hope you can enjoy some of my pieces, which are inspired both by our amazing NZ landscape and my own "inner-scape."
