Annie's Diary May 2013

May seems to be a very busy month so l just wanted to advertise a few dates.

My exhibition at The Palm Court is finishing on May 12th.

Folkestone Art Society exhibition commences at The Grand on May 11th until 27th May.

I am exhibiting one canvas, 'Neddy's Grand Tea' which is the cover design for the storybook.

I am also showing two sculptures, 'Horatio' - (Hare) and 'Timothy' - (Tortoise). I hope you like the pictures and go and see the real thing.

My sculpture of Neddy Seagull and some illustrations are being exhibited at The Horsebridge from 14th May until 28th May together with the work of sixteen other artists.

It is a lovely opportunity to show alongside many artists of different disciplines including Painting, Photography, Collagraphy, Collage, Sculpture and Driftwood Furniture.

I am extremely grateful to Janet Aldis who works very hard to get us all together.

The sculptures for the Nature Trail are also progressing well with a frog, badger, ant, fungus, mole, snail and green woodpecker nearing completion.

They can be seen at George's Barn at Peene during the weekends when it is open to the public.

 

 

A message for all young artists!

Please take a look at the website at youngartnet.net for details of how to enter the competition, the prizegiving and the official launch of the website coming in July.
 

 

 

 

Neddy’s Grand Tea

Neddy’s Grand Tea is one of a series of books about Ted, his flock of sheep and Sid, his faithful dog

Ted is one of the Lookers or shepherds born on Romney Marsh. He lives in one of the tiny dwellings called Lookers’ Huts. Ted has one lamb called Pet who lives in the hut with him who never grows up.

Neddy the seagull moved to Romney Marsh and became part of Ted’s ‘friends and family’.

His character and antics continue to gather momentum in Neddy’s Grand Tea when he has the chance to return to his home town of Folkestone . . .

About Annie

You can see a film of me demonstrating some of my methods by clicking the picture link below.

Annie was born in 1956 in the heart of the Kentish countryside. She grew up loving her natural surroundings and always felt a dedication to creating Painting and Sculpture. After completing her A Levels she moved to London and gained a B.A. Honours Degree studying Fine Art and Photography at Ravensbourne College of Art and Design.

She then worked as a Specialist Pottery Painter in London and subsequently moved to Gloucestershire where she worked as an industrial potter, learning the skills of using commercial pottery equipment.

After pursuing a Post Graduate Course at Sussex University she taught Ceramics, Fine Art and Textiles in several schools.

After teaching for 15 years Annie felt the need to give her own work more dedication as well as offering a retreat for a few of the rejected animals living in local sanctuaries.

Annie’s Studio now sits in the heart of the Kentish countryside - an absolute haven of inspiration for her work.

She works mainly by commission and during the past ten years has worked on a variety of projects including large murals, ceramic sculptures, portraits, personalised pottery and highly decorated loo seats.

Annie is dedicated to producing work of a professional standard but is always ready to instigate some humour into a piece of seemingly serious work.
