We have some very tiny frogs and some alarmingly giant toads here in Sicily. When I say giant, I mean about the size of a child’s baseball glove opened out (I am sure there are much more giant toads and frogs somewhere on Earth, but the baseball glove sized ones here always surprise me!) Frogs and toads are good luck, so I definitely knew I wanted to paint this guy as soon as I met him. I opted for, well, slightly more than life-size. This was a really interesting challenge in getting to grips with how very strange frog and toad eyes really are! He is a cheerful friendly soul, I feel. I like an amphibian who’ll look you in the eye…. My hope is that he will bring positive energy and happy feelings to whatever room in which he finds himself.

British animator/artist/musician who followed the sunlight and wound up in Sicily, Italy. I have been single-handedly creating an animated series called VOID since 2021 and releasing (music) albums as The Lowest of Low since 2018. Trained in painting, and in pottery and sculpture (under Sandra McKenzie-Schmitt in the US), I took up painting again after many years of trying to live a “normal” life (rather hopeless, I’m afraid…) as an organic farmer in the North York Moors. I’m happy for the experience though now I do enjoy the motor control that comes from feeling your fingers while you work. I most enjoy painting landscapes and animals. And probably food. I’m not sure if that’s because of the farming, or the farming was because of this original attraction to living in the land, the sky, caring for animals and planting. Who can say? “Show me the face you had before you were born!” Meditation and Zen Buddhism are important to me. I have lived and worked in the US, UK, India, Japan and Italy. Perhaps Egypt next. Every place opens different aspects, informs something, influences the lens through which I experience the world, and that’s the place out of which my artwork comes. It is my sincere hope that it resonates with something in you and brings you joy. My "painting name" is Anna Lipari, in part as an homage to my great-grandmother, whose name was Anna, and in part because it pleases me to sign my paintings "AL". Lipari is a volcanic island off the coast of Sicily. I'm rather fond of volcanoes and islands, being perhaps a little bit of both those things (metaphorically) myself.
