Star Artist -   ANNA GLYNN   websiteE M A I L  Born Melbourne, Australia.  Graduated Bachelor of Education, Melbourne College of Advanced Education.  Major in Sculpture and Painting - CV below ARTIST STATEMENT  “when memory & dreams entwine”  Australian contemporary art for investors and collectors. The artwork of Anna Glynn is both evocative and poetic. As an artist, she is intrigued by the landscape as an entity both on its own, and as a stage for the performances that are acted out within it. Her work embraces the landscape as a scene for this narrative where layers of time, the past and present, overlap. Anna Glynn is an Australian artist: painter, writer and composer. Her multi media work includes painting, drawing, sculpture, writing, music, sound, set design and theatre. This contemporary artist is continuing to receive international attention with recent exhibitions in the USA, Canada, Korea and China. Her work has been exhibited in commercial and public galleries in Australia and overseas including the Kyoto Museum in Japan. Her work is represented in government, corporate and private collections. In 1998 she received an International Women’s Day Award for her contribution to 'Women, Art & the Community'. She has been included in the following publications:  - ‘Contemporary Australian Art,’  - ‘Artists and Galleries of Australia,’  - ‘A Dictionary of Women Artists in Australia,’  - ‘Who’s Who of Australian Visual Artists’ - ‘A Buyers Guide to Australian Art’.  Her current multi media work: ‘Strange Memories’ is a hauntingly beautiful series that transports you to another place and time through dreamlike paintings, poignant narration and evocative music. It is a story that immerses itself in the Australian landscape. The project includes: paintings & drawings, a book, a CD of music and live performances. The book, 'Strange Memories,' is sixty pages featuring twenty five of her paintings. It explores the resonance of a journey in time through word and image. Strange Memories is in development as a stage production with Merrigong Theatre Company at the Illawarra Performing Arts Centre. Glynn is currently preparing for a number of exhibitions in China. The Zhu Qizhan Art Museum in Shanghai, is the venue for her next exhibition. She has been invited to exhibit her paintings in an exhibition titled 'Being' at the Zhu Qizhan Art Museum in Shanghai 1st – 30th November 2007. This is a public contemporary art museum in the Hongkou District. The exhibition theme ‘Being’ looks at the importance of nature, animals and the environment. She will also present a multi media work with narration based on her Strange Memories film for the opening ceremony of the exhibition. She is also learning Chinese Mandarin.
