Annie Turner
Annie’s work is born in the memories and emotions evoked by place and space. She is based in the Lake District in the North West of England, but often works at her small studio in the post-industrial port of Hull. As a result of these two contrasting landscapes, Annie’s paintings respond to both rural and urban environments.
After walks, drives and journeys, Annie’s work begins to evolve from a feeling for a place, it might be the light, it might be the shapes, the colours, the sense for what may have gone on there before. She is particularly drawn to understanding and investigating the history of a place. Then there’s time spent in the place and sketching - often quite figuratively, sometimes with eyes closed using the memory of the place to guide the pen.
