Annie Musgrove

Annie Musgrove lives on the Somerset-Devon border working mostly in oil, adding layers to build up a depth to her work in which she captures the elemental nature of the rural landscape around her. She collects information about a place by walking, observing and just being still. From the wild and remote nature of moorland to the power of a winter storm at the coastline, Annie’s work captures the vigour and wonder of nature that surrounds us. In recent work, Annie is exploring form and colour through abstraction working mostly with palette knives and rags. These painterly abstracted landscapes and seascapes are grounded with a sense of place and enjoy more freedom from representation.

In recent years Annie has exhibited work widely in the south-west : at SWAC, Thelma Hulbert Gallery, ACE Arts, Ilminster Arts Centre and Salcombe Art Club. In 2023 she was the overall winner of the Ilminster Open, and she regularly shows work in Somerset Art Weeks. Annie also runs oil painting workshops for the Blackdowns Artist Retreat, Ilminster Arts Centre and Bampton Art Club amongst others.
