In Shanghai I met Chinese artist Wu GuoWei for the first time and we had a strange and immediate affinity through the similarity of our artwork. In 2008, the Australia China Council gave me an opportunity to spend extended time working with her in Liaoning Province, China exploring this compelling phenomenon. Through this artistic connection followed a personal relationship - a dialogue between individuals extending our understanding of each other and our cultures.

Adobe has generously sponsored my multi media work by providing creative software.

We were awarded a Nillumbik Council / Parks Victoria, Laughing Waters Artist in Residence in 2008 to continue our collaboration in Australia. This was a very creative time spent in an Australian bush environment. Our thanks go to Nillumbik Council and Parks Victoria for making this possible.

Our collaborative work was selected for the 'From Mao to Now Exhibition' 2008 at the Armory Gallery, Sydney Olympic Park, Australia.

Earlier in 2009 my series of drawings 'Sea Tales' were included in an exhibition at Gallery HM, Sydney. I chose works inspired by the historical collection of the Lady Denman Maritime Museum and used archival images and text as the starting point for the works. These included graphic drawings.

At the Shanghai International Art Fair 2007, I was one of three artists selected at the fair by the prestigious car company Roewe to create an artwork especially on one of their cars. I invited Chinese artist and friend Wu GuoWei to assist in the creation of this special artwork - a dream in pink with fluttering birds and dragonflies on a sleek black car.

I represented Australia in an international art exhibition titled 'Being' at the Zhu Qizhan Art Museum in Shanghai, November 2007. Zhu Qizhan Art Museum is one of the major public museums in Shanghai and serves as a platform for both traditional and contemporary art. The exhibition theme ‘Being’ looked at the importance of nature, animals and the environment. I also presented a multi media work with narration based on my Strange Memories film for the opening ceremony of the exhibition working with a local performer Shao Bai who narrated in Mandarin.

Image above is a still from Anna Glynn Australian video art work 'verse versus...' winner of the Meroogal Women's Art Prize 2009

My digital video artwork 'Verse Versus...' won the Meroogal Women's Art Prize 2009. The art work was created as a response to Edward Lear’s poem ‘The New Vestments’, a story in a children’s book in the collection of the Historic Houses Trust property at Nowra – Meroogal. It incorporates a mixture of techniques & media: drawing, painting photography, sound, animation and video/film. In essence a creation using a contemporary palette of artist’s tools.

I am pleased to have a work from my Bundanon / Shoalhaven Stories series chosen as the archetypal Australian image for this important publication.The previous edition cover featured a Sydney Nolan, Ned Kelly image so this follows in the tradition of interpreting Australian stories using our iconic landscapes.
