ANGELA ANNESLEY

I am a printmaker and painter living and working in Cornwall. My paintings offer a colourful, dramatic interpretation of the landscape with strong lines that reflect my printmaking background, and unexpected hues that transform the land and sea. They have an enamel-like quality of colour and texture. My prints are original woodcuts that show the wilder side of Cornwall and its landscape, with the marks of the chisels evident in the patterns and lines. Animals, waves, fields and cliffs all feature. I cut with Japanese woodcarving chisels using minimal sketches so each piece develops organically on the board. Each woodcut is a limited edition and is signed by the artist.
