Living in Africa for the first fourteen years of her life and then moving to the UK had a profound impact on the diversity of her work and where many of her creative ideas have emerged. Anya has always had a passion for art and her more recent works are profoundly influenced by beautiful coastal landscapes, quirky harbours, and the ever-changing countryside of Great Britain. “I enjoy working with various mediums creating an exciting blend of textures, shapes, and vibrant colours; whilst continually experimenting with the effects that can be created using gesso, acrylic and acrylic inks. I love the depth of colour, movement and versatility that can be achieved using these elements” says Anya. Often, she will imagine a scene and decide how she wants certain colours to flow together to create a particular atmosphere. Anya gets enormous pleasure from examining the form, colours, light and textures within our diverse landscape and she continually strives to capture this. Her imaginative collection also includes a quirky series of paintings incorporating the world and moon. They incorporate real and imaginary places and colourful characters, with the aim to make her audience smile.
