Artist statement

Anna uses her background in design to thoughtfully compose beautifully arranged pieces, inspired by the gardens of her clients and nature unique to New Zealand. Using a paint carving technique, Anna’s artworks are layered with 30-40 coats of white acrylic paint followed by 3 coats of a top colour. The design is then carved out revealing the white underneath, creating a rich texture to the surface of the work.
