In 1972 her work was accepted by a London art dealer and publisher and for the next 25 years her work was exhibited in galleries around Britain and the United States.

​

By the time she became a full-time artist in 1998, she was working in oils, and had expanded from wild life and botanical subjects to still life, inspired by the Dutch and Flemish masters.

​

Anne has exhibited at the Mall Galleries in London, WH Patterson London, and the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, and has been a regular artist in galleries in Burford and Letchworth Garden City since 2007.

"I am not seeking to achieve photorealism.  The single-camera lens records its own version of reality:  the image is captured in a moment, determined by the shutter speed and focal length.  My aim is to record what I see as accurately as I can, and also to convey an atmosphere of stillness and a timeless quality that develops with many days or weeks." 

-Anne Songhurst.
