Anna’s Studio

Anna’s studio is in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. When she isn’t painting outdoors, she creates Still Life art in her studio and studies artists who inspire her.

What inspires Anna’s art

  • A woman smiling outdoors in a field with green crops, wearing sunglasses and a pink hat. She has a painting of a landscape with trees on an easel and an open palette with paint beside her.

    The English Countryside

    Anna is endlessly inspired by the rolling hills and greenery in the UK. She often paints in the Hertfordshire countryside and Chiltern Hills.

  • Watercolor painting of a countryside landscape with a dirt path, trees, and a blue sky, framed and placed on a white shelf with a candle on the left and a glass with reed diffusers on the right.

    Antiques

    Anna is a keen antiques collector which influences her Still Life scenes. She connects with objects which have a story to tell and a link to history.

  • A painting of a branch with red and pink leaves, and green foliage on a light background.

    Monet

    Anna is a big fan of Monet - she loves the bright colours and layering effect found in Monet’s work.

  • A woman with long dark hair, wearing a brown jacket, black pants, and boots, squatting on a wooden floor inside an art gallery, holding a glass of white wine, and smiling at the camera. Behind her are various landscape paintings on the white gallery wall.

    Historic houses

    Stately homes provide endless inspiration for Anna with their beautiful architecture and manicured landscape gardens. Anna particularly likes the work of Capability Brown.
