She has been doing her charcoal drawings (some with a splash of colour) at Dixter for the past four years It is the type of art that stops you in your tracks – that’s certainly the effect it has had on me and I’ve been prowling round the house trying to find a suitable spot where I could hang one of her drawings. This is quite a difficult ‘sell’ domestically as Andrew points out the stacks of unhung paintings propped against walls.  Nevertheless, if I can find a space that would do it justice I am seriously tempted. Oh for a minimalist house in need of a focal piece of art! The charcoal drawings range from quite small to enormous and range in price from £225 to £1500. To make them even more tempting, they can be bought in instalments with a 25% deposit –  I’ve bought art this way before and do consider it an excellent arrangement – it really does make art affordable. The exhibition runs until November 17th with the gallery open on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, or you can see Anny’s work here.
