About Anne

Anne is a Melbourne based artist exhibiting in both watercolour and pastel. Anne grew up in North Queensland and, following a career in teaching, eventually settled in Eltham, Victoria in the late 80’s. Although art has always been her lifelong passion, she had no opportunity for formal training until the mid 2000’s, when she had tuition in watercolour with Bryan Fitzgerald and pastels with Barbara McManus.

Artist Statement 

Watercolour and pastels are my passion. Capturing the light and spontaneity of the moment is always the challenge. Mood and light are key elements.
