Anna-Lisa Coleman
Anna-Lisa Coleman graduated with a BA Honours Degree in Printed Textiles & Decoration from Middlesex University in 95. Employed as a community artist working within theatre design & education, she eventually fled the big smoke of London in search of green space && fresh air, relocating to Hereford where she gained her PGCE whilst teaching at Herefordshire College of Arts in 2005, before moving deeper into mid Wales.
Here she lived on sheep farms in Llanwrtyd Wells before her recent move to her studio in the hub of Llanwrtyd Wells, the famous 'smallest town in Britain'. A keen 'Man Vs Horse' marathon runner, you will often find her training off road, up in the hills above the town where her painting inspiration is mused, reflecting her meditations, deep marvels at nature & essence of freedom.
Her paintings are composed of hills, cloudscapes & night skies, often painting herself as a Goddess in guise of her own refuge, sanctuary & metamorphosis. Her style is an honest, quirky, energetic fusion of spontaneity & colour.
She has many paintings held in private collections worldwide & her work can be seen exhibited regularly in local venues. She also works to public & private commission.
