She works on an intimate scale which allows her to explore a subject in depth. Looking attentively over a sustained period, she gradually uncovers unexpected insights into colours and forms. Her paintings are a celebration of the meditative activity of looking for its own sake. Her current interests include the fragile beauty of the natural world, and the relationship between colour and culture.
Anne Waller is a painter based in London. She works from direct observation, focusing on still life and portraits.
