Ann Wagner
Ann’s unique translation of the world
is beautifully captured on canvas to
create works of intense impact. Her
contemporary take on the Australian
coastline has been very well received,
with requests for commission pieces
keeping her extremely busy during
the last few years. Ann has recently
evolved her repertoire to include
paintings that reflect her admiration
of art deco works of the past, albeit
with a modern touch. A spirited and
enthusiastic artist, Ann’s pieces have
been exhibited at numerous solo and
group exhibitions.
