"It started with my favourite fish, a red mullet, all bronze, copper, gills and scales. Then mackerel, coloured like a Scandi sky. soon enough, I was seduced by a sketch of figs and Anna’s alluring tones."

Allan Jenkins, Editor of The Observer Food Magazine

 

“I have a number of Anna’s paintings of fish hanging in my restaurants now. Anna manages to capture them in a way that really brings them to life, as though they are swimming on the canvas. Her work is meticulous and extremely intricate. Each time she has painted for me she has taken the time to listen to my requirements so that she can achieve perfect results. She is an extremely talented artist who offers a very personally tailored service and really cares about her customers.”  

Nathan Outlaw, Chef and restaurant owner

 

"I’ve known about Anna’s art work for quite a while and love it, particularly her fish and shellfish.  When we were planning our new restaurant in Sandbanks I asked her if she’d got a painting that we could hang in the bar and she came up with the mackerel on a plate, which looks fantastic, as I knew it would, her paintings are just beautiful."

Jill Stein, The Seafood Restaurant, Padstow

 

“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Anna. She is not only a consummate professional, but immerses herself in both your copy and thoughts to enhance a book with her superb illustrations. If I ever get round to writing my book on French Food be assured I will be knocking on her door.”

Dino Joannides, Author of Semplice

 

"It was a great pleasure to work with Anna and experience her wonderful paintings. Anna's skills very much match the great culinary skills of showing of fabulous produce at their absolute best. Anna's work more than does this for every food featured." 

Gary Rhodes, Chef

 

"I first heard about Anna's work when I was running Harveys Restaurant in Bristol, and I was straight away taken by how alive her paintings and drawings were. She is that sort of artist who can capture the moment, the stillness of her subject, with an arrogant touch, wonderfulness and reality. Love her style." 

Daniel Galmiche, Executive Chef of The Vineyard
