After a foundation in art, Anne-Marie gained a degree in fashion design and has enjoyed a successful career in fashion, designing womenswear for luxury brands for the past 20 years.
This design discipline and aesthetic vision influences Anne-Marie's artworks; both in use of colour and stylish subject matter. The textures of lace and the smoothness of glass are rendered in acrylics; her preferred medium. She is as much inspired by Vermeer as she is Rene Gruau... in her artwork the dramatic darkness and strong light capturing the translucency of glass are influenced by the Dutch masters, while the graphic style and spatial awareness come from studying the great fashion illustrators.
