Annette is an abstract artist who finds inspiration in the fluid and dynamic nature of water. She is intrigued by the way it moves and interacts with its environment, reflecting light and intertwining with plants and the lives of people. Annette recognises the vital role that water plays in sustaining life and is fascinated by the way it can change its form depending on temperature, gradient, and surroundings.
To depict the lively motion of water in various environments, she employs methods such as palette knife painting, pouring, dripping, and splattering paint on the canvas. This creates a collection of marks, layers and forms that express the dynamic flow and transformative qualities of water.
Annette began her career as an illustrator achieving a BA from Kingston University. After a few years, she transitioned to photography, focusing on capturing water, and was greatly supported by a QEST Scholarship. She has now expanded her passion for water photography into abstract painting and takes joy in seeing others appreciate her artwork and using it to enhance their living spaces.
