Anna Powell
Anna's collection reflects her strengths of drawing, painting, using vibrant colour and her ability to develop these designs digitally.
Anna's inspiration comes from nature particularly obscure and exotic plant forms. Her final collection is for high end interiors, featuring statement wallpapers and a range of luxury fabrics. Due to the recent devastation of the Amazon rain forest she has researched the luscious plant life that grows there and developed her drawings and paintings based on this. Anna has been inspired by botanical artists and botanists who have explored the Amazon rain forest such as Margaret Mee and Marianne North. She has used her digital skills to create repeat patterns as well as visualising her collection. Anna aims to continue to develop her skills as a print designer in the transition into industry.
