Anne Warburton - Artist Statement
My fibre art pieces are often more than is apparent at first glance. To interpret my subject, I explore the interaction of colours, textures, and materials. I then build the layers, stitching, adhering, cutting to reveal the character of the materials, then tucking, shaping, transforming, and embellishing to capture my subject's emotion, meaning and spirit.
Anne is a fibre artist and problem solver. Her passion is to capture creative insights through her art. She works mostly in stitch on fabric and paper, and embellishes with paint, metals, recycled and other materials. A love of colour, nature, and travel inspires much of her work. She has a love of learning, and continues to develop her art through experimentation and courses.
Anne’s artistic journey has included studies in drawing, painting, coloured pencil techniques, bookbinding, embroidery, and the fibre arts through Ottawa School of Art, VACO, local stores, private lessons, and some self-taught. Her formal education includes event management, introductory expressive arts therapies, and learning facilitation.
Anne has worked with seniors creating coloured pencil art, and has taught mixed media techniques to children and adults. Anne is incoming Co-Chair with the Out of the Box Fibre Artists, chaired the Navan Fine Arts Exhibition & Sale for several years, and founded Fibre 15 in 2019 to provide a local group of local fibre artists with an environment (now online) for creating, inspiration and sharing.
