Anna is a Minimalist Abstract Artist based in London, UK.

Her work delves into the importance of negative space and the Zen philosophy "Ma" - the spatial relationship between structural elements.
Her paintings and drawings incorporate Shibumi principles; a complex process not evident in the outcome, creating works of unobtrusive beauty.

Beginning by referencing tangible elements from nature, after careful observation Anna strips away all but the non-essential, working with gestural marks and elemental colour to capture the essence of the subject. This redaction of the superfluous encourages the observer to slow down and appreciate the tranquillity of the work.

Anna’s interpretation of Minimalism also incorporates influences from Abstract Expressionism, mid-century Abstraction and Japanese calligraphy with an inclination towards Constructivism. 

Anna returned to her painting practice in 2017 and has been teaching Art in secondary education since 2004.

She currently lives in London dividing her time between painting, teaching, and coaching other Artists.
