Anna Clark - painter and mixed media artist based in the Wirral, Merseyside

 

The starting point for my pieces is usually quick sketches and multiple photographs from my wanderings around the UK and beyond – sometimes taken from a moving train or car, or perhaps as a sequence of snapshots whilst walking. Back in the studio I enjoy the challenge of trying to capture the essence of these fleeting moments and day to day places and objects in two dimensions.

 

Each of my pieces is multilayered and can combine a range of processes including print, collage, drawing and paint. The process of building up layers adds an element of chance and can often result in the unexpected reframing of familiar objects or landscapes.     

 

I graduated as a mature student in 2014 with a degree in Fine Art from Wirral Metropolitan College, followed by a year’s Fellowship. Since then my work has been exhibited in a number of galleries including the Williamson Art Gallery, the Lake Gallery, Editions Gallery and the Royal Cambrian Academy. I am a longstanding member of West Kirby Art Group and a participating artist in Wirral Open Studios.
