Anne Thornhill trained in Fine Art at Lincoln College of Art and Bath Academy of Art, Corsham, graduating in 1974. Since then she has worked professionally, selling her work from the two galleries she ran with husband Paul. Moving in 1996 to a quieter lifestyle in the country has enabled her to paint full time. She works from drawings executed on site to retain a sense of place in her paintings, which are usually in acrylics.

The work is a reponse to the movement, rhythms and tensions in the landscape and in the perceptual process itself. The paintings seek to provide both questions and answers, but the oucome is never a resolution and so the movement continues.

"I have been very lucky in that many people have supported me in purchasing my work over the years. It has been distributed all around the globe to some remote and surprising areas. I hope my paintings will continue to stimulate people in the future and hold a place of value in their lives."
