Index Welcome Anna Glynn Australian Artist

Anna Glynn is an Australian contemporary artist working with multi media. This work includes painting, drawing, sculpture, writing, music, sound, theatre, moving image, animation and film making.

Anna Glynn is an artist who is intrigued by the natural world and the accompanying underlying narrative. She has undertaken a number of successful residencies both within Australia and internationally and in 1998 received an International Women’s Day Award for contribution to 'Women, Art & the Community'. In 2009 her hunting painting ‘The Brave Hunter’ was selected as an iconic Australian image for the cover of ‘A Concise History of Australia’

Her digital video artworks have been gaining recent awards: ‘The Traveller’ won the Animation section at the 2010 International Film Festival Ireland and was selected to show in Germany in mid 2011. This film was also selected as the premier work to launch the Albury Regional Gallery 2011 Outdoor Digital Gallery. In a unanimous decision by the panel of three judges, her digital video artwork ‘Verse Versus…’ won the 2009 Historic Houses Trust, Meroogal Women's Art Prize.

Anna Glynn has been included in the following publications: ‘Contemporary Australian Art,’ ‘Artists and Galleries of Australia,’ ‘A Dictionary of Women Artists in Australia,’ ‘Who’s Who of Australian Visual Artists’ & ‘A Buyers Guide to Australian Art’.

She has an interest in narrative works and in expressing this essence of ‘place’. Places are not just marks on a map; they are made up of our stories. Glynn's painting, writing, films and musical compositions embrace the landscape as a scene for this narrative. Original contemporary music, sound recordings and evocative words work in concert to expand the visual medium.

Anna Glynn's book, 'Strange Memories,' is sixty pages featuring twenty five of her Australian paintings. It explores the resonance of a journey in time through word and image.
