Annie Musgrove lives on the Somerset-Devon border working mostly in oil, adding layers to build up a depth to her work in which she captures the elemental nature of the rural landscape around her. She collects information about a place by walking, observing and just being still. From the wild and remote nature of moorland to the power of a winter storm at the coastline, Annie’s work captures the vigour and wonder of nature that surrounds us.

 

2020 brought a change in direction for Annie’s work. During the first lockdown she created a series of drawings and prints based on her local hedgerows which have been shown as part of Somerset Reacquainted at the Museum of Rural Life. This work led to the development of a series of films with artist Ann Chester King inspired by nature and subsequently a series of zoom art workshops to inspire and engage adults and children at home.
