Anna works primarily as a ceramics and mixed media artist. She creates a range of sizes making small figures, and large-scale figurative, sculptural works. 

Working with high fired grogged clay, Anna exploits the expressive and forgiving nature of the clay through a combination of hand building and press moulding, often incorporating contrasting textures. These are derived from directly manipulating into the surface of the clay, applying slips at different stages and a variety of glazes, often layered, conjuring up the rich aesthetics of erosion and corrosion that in of itself suggests a story, a timeline.

Often choosing to use the human form as the foundation onto which she builds narratives, Anna explores the projection of identity and the power of body language, even the most subtle.
