Anna Wooden:  Folklore Meets Fine Art
​
Anna Wooden is a multi-disciplined artist bringing her characters to life in sculpture and illustrations.

​Her work has its foundation in storytelling, grown from her work as a costume designer and a steady diet of folklore and fairy tales.

Anna creates fantastical characters and situations. Often, she is inspired by a myth or a snippet of folklore, and sometimes she writes her own stories to accompany the pieces. In her sculptures, she uses found and up-cycled materials to give her creatures a grounding in reality, weaving our world and theirs together so that we can see the fleeting edges of magic that they bring into our daily life.

Her sculptures and paintings are all moments from the same magical tale, drawn from the same world.
