Anne Guest uses the cyanotype process to explore the uncompromising cycle of life, the fragility of existence and the passing of time.

Her studio is situated in a rural landscape where she regularly forages for materials to inspire and use in her work.

She uses symbols in her images that are associated with the traditional art genres of memento mori, vanitas and still life which are all associated with the transience of life and earthly pleasures and the ever present threat of death.

She aims to create art that is a poignant reminder of our own mortality and vulnerability as well as invoking a sense of awe and wonder.

Anne Guest has an MA in Fine Art and has been shortlisted for several prize exhibitions including the Jerwood Drawing Prize and the Ruskin Drawing Prize. She has been awarded Arts Council Funding and has been commissioned for public art projects.

She exhibits regularly in both solo and group shows and her work is held in both private and public collections.
