Join us at granton:hub for our next exhibition, a 20 year retrospective from artist Anna V Phillips running Friday 28th to Sunday 30th November.
Artist statement:
“Brought up in a very artistic home, I’ve always had a deep love for art – but like many creative journeys, mine has taken a few detours along the way.
I moved to Aberdeen in 1978, where I studied Occupational Therapy, and stayed until 2006, during which time I was married and raised three Children.
I attended watercolour classes from 2003 – 2006. These included drawing, acrylics, gouache and soft pastels.
I lived in Houston, Texas for nine years (2006 – 2015).
I volunteered at The Printing Museum, where I met Charles Criner (1945 – 2025) the artist in residence. Charlea mentored me and introduced me to a wide variety of printing techniques – leaving a lasting impression on my artistic path.
I discovered @grantonhub Painting for Pleasure weekends in 2018, and with that, a new chapter began.
This is my first exhibition since my return to Edinburgh in 2015, so I have chosen to display artworks that follow my artistic journey.
I hope you take time to visit and enjoy this exhibition.”
