Ice Skaters, Somerset House Painting

Anna-Louise graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2003 having received first class honours from Central Saint Martins. She is regarded as a reportage artist, for her work is created mainly on location. Typically working with ink on paper when on site, she then works from these studies on a much larger scale in oil on canvas back in her studio. From 2009-2011 Anna-Louise had an art gallery in Cornwall, where she exclusively showed her own work documenting village life, local architecture and scenes from the bay. Moving to New York City in 2013, she worked on a much larger scale producing abstract cityscapes in oils. It was during this time that she began producing screen prints of Manhattan at The Art Student's League of New York before moving back to the UK in 2015. Anna-Louise has always been interested in depicting a variety of subjects. In 2005 she was commissioned by the Ministry of Defence to paint their aircraft carriers, harrier jump jets and helicopters. These images were used in sponsored exhibitions and as part of the Royal Navy's recruitment campaign. She is known internationally for painting historic and modern racing cars, travelling all over the world to attend events such as Pebble Beach, the Nurburgring, Goodwood, Monza and Spa. A collection of her car paintings were exhibited at the Le Mans Museum (France) in 2012. Anna-Louise is now based in London and works in Delta House Studios where she continues to paint large landscapes of London & New York, as well as accepting commissions.
