This summer she led a team of artists and volunteers in a mural project to design and paint the two subways under the famous Plough Roundabout in Hemel Hempstead. the project was a huge success and involved over 20 local artists and volunteers as well as local business and services for young people. Do go and visit the subway this year as part of Open Studios when you visit Hemel Hempstead.

Biography
Anna is a self-taught, intuitive, abstract artist who uses a combination of techniques and mixed media to express and reflect my emotions. She is passionate about the natural world and often include themes inspired by her time spent outdoors or forest bathing. She finds that using recycled and natural materials in her art adds an addition layer of authenticity to her work.
When Anna begins a new piece she will have a thought of what she hopes to create, but often ideas manifest and flow as the artwork develops. Anna enjoys the freedom this brings and finds the whole process of creating an artwork incredibly mindful, intuitive and relaxing.
Anna exhibit locally, leads 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.
