Anne was born in Carlisle and since then has moved around the country and abroad. Anne has a deep love of outdoor life and has settled in Lincolnshire. The great skies and distances are made for her fresh and clear watercolours.
‘Landscapes with water appeal most but I like to have a building or structure of some kind to offset the gentleness of nature. The contrast between tones and shapes with deep, clear colours is exciting and I try to convey this in my work. The Norfolk coast and southern Ireland have introduced me to the enjoyment of boats and coastlines.’

A Rural Perspective
An exhibition of paintings by artists May Jones and Malcolm Tait
Both artists live and work in the village of Addlethorpe in the East of the County. Addlethorpe is a rural community; the main mass of the Parish is located about one mile inshore of the flat sandy East Coast Lincolnshire beaches but at one point a finger of land extends out from its bulk and reaches down to the sea.
The work of both artists are strongly influenced by the environment around them, for May the inspiration for her collage and painting come from the colours, textures and patterns that she finds in East Lincolnshire landscape and particularly in its flora. Through this awareness of her surroundings May explores life and regeneration through the changing colours of the landscape as the annual cycle of growth and regeneration evolves. In the minutiae of flower head, leaf, petal and seed head observed throughout the year May locates the textures and colours that inspire her.
Malcolm has had a lifelong interest in how we know who we are, what makes us who we are. In this exhibition his work looks at the influences the landscape we inhabit has on us. In the word “landscape” Malcolm explores not just the terrain and how it is shaped by natural forces but also the people who shape it, those who are shaped by it and how it is read, disseminated and understood through the work of writers, poets and other artists.
