Annette Fuller

I am a passionate visual artist and creativity facilitator. I have over 40 years' experience as an artist, won awards and sell my work regularly. Being an artist and creating is who I am and is as necessary as breathing for my mind, body, and soul. Art gives me far more than just joy, if I am away too long from engaging in my art practice my fingers get itchy, there rarely goes a day I do not make or create in some form. I cannot imagine not having art in my life.
As a landscape artist I am drawn to raw, rugged, and remote environments. My work is heavily influenced by my sense of place, whether it be the familiarity of the small coastal community on the east coast of Tasmanian where I currently live with my geriatric dog, or a favourite weekend spot or a distant land I have journeyed on.
As a child I was not encouraged to pursue my love of art being an area “you will never make a career in “it's not a real subject” and the list goes on. But once living independently and receiving my first pay packet (back in the days when you received cold hard cash and coins in a little brown envelope) I booked my first art lessons and have not looked back since.
I have been blessed along the way to have shared my artistic passion with amazing teachers, mentors and friends. For me now sharing what I have learnt to others along my artistic journey is my way of giving back just a fraction of the joy creativity has brought to me and my life in the hope that someone else finds the joy creativity can bring to their life in whatever form that might take.
