Anne Hignell - 2024
Anne is a painter and lives and works in Hertfordshire. She has been painting and drawing for over 20 years.
Anne's work is diverse in subject and application. Having concentrated on the human form for many years, she sees a natural progression in exploring other landscapes, both natural and placed, their shapes and forms, interconnecting lines, depth and space, their colour and light. Her recent paintings are based on a local river which she has been studying through the changing seasons for several years. She is interested in surfaces, light, reflection and movement.
Anne applies her mark-making in an intuitive and expressive way, responding to the subject as well as to the unfolding image being created. Her approach can be realistic or semi abstract and sometimes pure abstract. She uses a mixture of media including paint, charcoal, pastel, ink and collage to develop her work.
