Annie Rouse

Annie studied at Central St. Martins College of Art and Design, foundation and BA degree course where she gained an Hons. Degree in Fine Art Painting.  She later decided to refresh her drawing skills, and, after a couple of years, gaining diplomas in life drawing, painting and sculpture. Annie now works daily from her studio at Wimbledon Art Studios, where she has been for the last fourteen years.  She has exhibited many times at the Royal Academy in London, and also at the Mall galleries.
Annie paints whatever subject matter excites her - the subject can also dictate the style in which she paints. Her paintings deal with ethereal moments and passing time almost like fractions of a poem. She continues to experiment with drawing on different surfaces and textures, and uses a variety of materials to build up a working surface, including oil paint, crayons, pencil, and charcoal. Annie loves texture and and uses the viscosity of oil paint to sculpt forms onto her canvas.
