Having recently returned to painting after careers in fashion and education, Anna Gage brings a renewed sense of focus and sensitivity to her work in oils. Concentrating on portraits and figurative paintings, she is deeply inspired by the effects of light and the subtle narratives conveyed through the human face. Her paintings invite moments of quiet reflection and contemplation. While portraiture remains central to her practice, occasional explorations of landscape and still life further reveal her keen observation of atmosphere, beauty, and stillness.
