Anna Gaston
I am an artist and art teacher working and making in Liverpool. I studied BA Fine Art at Birmingham Institute of Art and Design graduating in 2003. I love creating artwork that distorts or slightly abstracts the world around us, finding new ways to represent our visual world. I am interested in themes of femininity, domesticity, celebration and nature.
I enjoy re -interpreting, representing and responding to the world around me. Selecting items that are intriguing or meaningful to me, I often abstract them and exaggerate their colours. Often combining items together I create new, imaginary scenes. I want to show people a new way of looking at the everyday, whether that’s the mundane, the precious or natural world. Artist who inspire me include Audrey Flack, Lisa Milroy, Wayne Thiebaud Edward Hopper and Robert Rauschenberg.
