A few short words- CV below

Anna Curtin lives in Victoria, BC. Her paintings, drawings and fabric work capture a felt sense of the land as an energetic force beyond language and boundaries. At the same time her work acknowledges the reality of the pervading nature of technology in the present day. Summers spent off the grid, as well as farming in New Brunswick, working as a nurse in remote areas of the NWT and yearly sea kayaking excursions, have reinforced Anna’s strong connection to the landscape. A former lay midwife, registered nurse and educator, she is now a full-time artist who is committed to both her own art and the power of art in her community. Anna has a Masters of Art in Painting, where she received a distinction from the University of Gloucestershire, UK. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions and is held in private collections in London UK, B.C., California and Mexico.
