Anna Painter has been producing art since qualifying in Fine Art as well as Ceramic Design in 1993 at The Wits Technikon.
After working as a ceramicist for several years, Anna unexpectedly became involved in the film
industry, where she has been making international commercials for over twenty years, dividing her
time between film and fine art. Anna has also produced a lot of work specifically for the challenging and varied world of the film industry, from props fabrication to painting.

Anna has been represented by various galleries in Cape Town, her work being sold as soon as it has become available, many pieces to international collectors.

Working in oil as chosen medium I love to witness the slow emergence of a composition from simply
applying a base coat and allowing the work to develop organically, without the use of any
references.
With a deep love of nature and wide-open spaces, and a fascination with cloud formations, I enjoy
the semi abstract result achieved by blending colours to produce many shades of white and a depth of field. I love the softness and subtlety achievable through the malleability of oil paint. The work is emotive, the aim being to convey a sense of calm to the viewer.

Anna is also a jewellery designer, producing a range of distinctive silver jewellery which was featured at Milano jewellery week, 2023.
