Anne Adamson
Ethereal paintings in ink and acrylic by Bristol based artist Anne Adamson. The images in Anne's work come from memory and imagination, creating new worlds where anything might happen.

She conveys a sense of displacement and ambiguity, drawing on the fragmented imagery of dreams where scale is unpredictable and isolated structures occur in unexpected settings.

Anne has a BA Hons from Trinity College, Dublin and a Masters in Fine Art from Wimbledon School of Art, London.She has exhibited widely in the UK and abroad and has won a number of awards for her work including first prize at the Barclaycard Drawing Awards.

In this year's Ludlow Summer Exhibition she is the Selector's Choice of Lara Wardle, Director of the Jerwood Foundation.
