I am an artist based in Chobham, Surrey. My artwork ranges in a variety of media, from oil painting to tempera, watercolours, acrylics and mixed media.
It is mainly figurative, though some of my pieces can be abstractions of figurative forms. I work on objects, single items or still life and landscapes.
I do not mimic reality and look for a personal vision of shapes and colours sometimes disregarding proportions. Impressionistic views merge with a surrealist vision in my work and a poetic interpretation of reality, sketching and drawing, are always my first steps towards a finished work. Then I choose the media that
best suits the composition. Sometimes I try different media for the same subject, to see which one interprets the form and thought I mean to convey.
The picture needs to speak to the viewer, communicating multiple sensations and engaging them in the story. Then I choose the media that best suits the composition.
I am also a writer and my inspiration, both in writing and in painting comes from where I live, what I do and the people I meet. It can be a view of the English landscape, flowers on a wall, working in my back garden, or an encounter. I am also very much inspired by travels, the changing of seasons, exhibitions and memories.
I think most of my work is a revisitation of memories of what I saw and experienced in the recent or distant past.
I am a member of Woking Art Society and take part in the workshops and exhibitions they organise. I have also just subscribed to
Surrey Artists Open Studios and am a member of Chobham Art Group.
“I find paths, lanes and tracks so intriguing. You never know what’s round the corner, or what you will stumble across unexpectedly. In Farley Green, in the SurreyHills, this grassy path and wonky fence leads to a little cottage among the trees.”

Anne creates vividly expressive landscape paintings, inspired by the Surrey Hills. Her work is about capturing drama, atmosphere and movement and is characterised by gorgeous colours, free energetic and loosely-layered brushwork and gestural mark making. She loves to experiment with drips, splashes and distorted lines because these enable her to be bold and expressive.
She grew up among the terraced houses, slate roofs and mill chimneys of a northern mill town, surrounded by wild hills, becks and moors. An only child, she taught herself to draw by copying Disney characters and her dad’s Lancashire art shop was an ‘Aladdin’s Cave’. Fifty years later and having lived in Teddington, New York and California, the gently rolling hills, heathland, vineyards and wooded countryside of the North Downs have replaced the dry stone walls, moors and ‘dark satanic mills’ of her youth. Lanes, tracks, telegraph wires and undulating fields now inspire her to sketch lines and shapes, which gradually evolve into finished compositions.
That love of the majestic countryside of her northern roots is still with her, along with a sense of ‘theatre’ which she now realises grew out of her background as a young dancer and pianist. These early experiences resonate in her paintings now. Being in a landscape she feels calm, relaxed, yet alive and free and that’s how she feels when she paints.
After graduating in Fine Art at Reading University in 1984 she pursued a career in Education, primarily in music and completed an MEd in Creative Arts at Exeter University.
Over the years, Anne's work has been exhibited, commissioned and bought by collectors in the UK and USA. Retirement from her last post in an International school has enabled her to focus fully on painting.
She has recently featured in Homes and Gardens magazine, exhibited at Denbies Vineyard, High Clandon Vineyard and participated in Surrey Artists’ Open Studios. Anne is a member of Leatherhead Art Club and Horsley and Clandon Society of Arts.
“This painting was inspired by the South Downs, England, in summertime, when the fields were shining brightly in the sunshine and the lush hedge rows were packed full of tall wildflowers and grasses.”

“I was attracted by the curving track, which led to a pretty house, nestling among the purple heather and wooded landscape of Albury Heath in the Surrey Hills.”

I was born in Fontainebleau, France and I have lived in Surrey for almost 30 years.
After passing my Baccalaureat specialising in Art and History of Art I went on to do a foundation course in the Ateliers de Sevres, Paris, followed by a course in Fine Art at Olivier de Serres Art School, Paris.
As a portrait artist I have exhibited on several occasions at the National Portrait Gallery, as part of the BP Portrait Award Exhibition. I have also exhibited in the Royal Society of Portrait Painters Exhibition, the Academie Jacques Boitiat, Barbizon, France, Guildford Arts Exhibition at the Mill Studio and the
Lightbox in Woking.
I am currently running a Gallery in Swan Lane, Guildford with 7 other artists ,where you can see some of my work.
I specialise in highly-detailed portrait paintings. My portraits, from children to celebrities, musicians and Vice-Chancellors are recognised for their incredible likeness. My artistic style can also be applied to pet portraits, capturing the personality of your favourite animal.
All my portraits are created with several thin layers of oil on canvas. I work mainly from photographs that I like to take myself but can work from photographs given to me if they are clear enough. Ideally I will meet my sitters a few times to be able to connect with them and capture their personalities in the portrait. I feel a portrait is timeless. It is about capturing the essence of a person. A portrait is a piece of Art that is uniquely yours and can be transmitted through generations. It can also be a wonderful present for your loved ones.
As a mural artist, I have been getting many commissions all around Surrey in schools, bars, hospitals and houses. See below for further information about murals.
I also offer Portrait Workshops and Private Tuition.
For further examples of my work please visit my website and feel free to get in touch for a friendly chat about commissioning a portrait or a mural.

She has also painted a beautiful tropical scene for an indoor swimming pool at a private house in East Grinstead, West Sussex..
Murals are charged by time at a basic rate of £200 a day, plus materials and expenses. Cost is directly related to how large and complex a mural your school or organisation would like.
Nathalie can be hired to provide either one-to-one or class based tutoring to children and adults alike.
She has run many workshops as a guest teacher for Berkshire based art school Artspiration.
Nathalie recently ran a portrait workshop in Heathside School in Weybridge for the A-Level students. The portraits were the results of the workshop and submitted for their final exam as coursework.
