Artist Information

Her other creative practise is as an artist where she creates paintings, prints and 3d responses to her environment in a non-representative way. She uses methods of glazing and layering akin to the old masters to make contemporary pieces. Anne Marie often makes her own paints, uses gilding and develops different oils/varnishes to create subtle layering. She runs occasional bespoke workshops relating to painting techniques such as icon painting, old masters and developing abstract imagery.
