Collection: Anna Noel

Anna Noel graduated with a first class Honours Degree in Ceramics at Bath Academy of Art in 1982 and went on to study at The Royal College of Art where she gained an M.A. in Ceramics. In 1984 she set up a ceramics studio in Wales with her sister, Sarah Noel

From early childhood in Wales animals have fascinated Anna and their imagery has fuelled her imagination. Animals used in stories, myths and folklore often express and symbolise the complexities of childhood and the adult world.

Anna often likes to include texts from poems, riddles and rhymes in her work and draws inspiration from ancient sculpture and folk art from a variety of cultures; particularly America and European traditions. Her work crosses from folk art to modernity and has a lovely economy of form and painting.

Her work is held in many public and private collections.
