Ann Edwards and her team
Originally from Blackpool, artist Ann Edwards now lives and works in a small village in Oxfordshire. Ann has three daughters, a husband, three dogs, a magnificent cat Thomas, a parrot, seven chickens and two goldfish. Jasper the parrot was a 40th birthday present from her husband. She wanted something for her wrist.
Since 1994 Ann has been painting and exhibiting with growing success. Ann’s work is collected and exhibited both nationally and internationally. She is published by CCA Galleries, and also makes her own limited edition prints in very small edition sizes which allows her to hand finish the art, so each limited edition is unique. Her original work is highly collectable and much sought after.
In Japan Ann's work is enthusiastically collected and in 2006 Ann went on her first signing tour with exhibitions in 10 galleries in the most prestigious stores in Japan, to meet her fans. Since then, Ann has made a further two trips to Japan, most recently in the Spring of 2011.
Many of Ann’s pictures start life as monotypes (ink and watercolour paintings on paper) which she creates by painting with oil based inks on to glass. She then draws and scratches into the ink and when paper is applied an image appears, as if by magic! The picture is then left to dry for a week hanging from a washing line in her studio. This technique allowes no room for error, which gives the work spontaneity life and movement. Many works are then finished with the addition of 22ct gold leaf.
Ann's work is licensed by many companies and her art appears on tableware, kitchen textiles, melamine, tee shirts and bespoke invitations and is sold around the world.
