UK based textile artist Anne Kelly is an award-winning artist, author and tutor. Her multi-layered and densely stitched textiles have been described as ‘small worlds’. Trained in Canada and at Goldsmiths College in London, she creates wall hangings and objects using a mixture of mixed media collage and hand and machine embroidery. Her inspirations are taken from travel, memory, nature and especially folk art.

Anne tutors and teaches fine art and textiles to a variety of groups in the UK and abroad; and is a member of the Embroiderers Guild UK, the Crafts Council Directory and the Society for Embroidered Work. Her work is held in several national and international collections. At the ROSA Botanical Art Fair she is teaching three taster sessions in the main workshop of West Dean College, where she will have examples of her work.
