Anne Baldwin is based on St Mary’s Island. I’m 56 years old and learnt to draw in 2020 after injuries sustained in a car accident in 2015. I started doodling and found this focused my mind. I then scoured YouTube for tutorials to teach me to draw I was fascinated with pastels and focused on those although I’ve since tried colour pencils and charcoal and graphite.Click on the image you want to see.

"Stunning Symmetry" by Anne Baldwin
I was struck by the unexpected beauty of seashells. The symmetry and natural patterns were a wonderful sight to behold. Not wishing to detract from that, I used charcoal in this A4 piece of art.
"Protector or Predator" by Anne Baldwin
A2 on black paper in pastel. Is Pinkie protecting the mice by camouflaging them in the sweets and keeping them safe from danger? Or is she the danger to them? It’s entirely subjective. No answer is wrong - it’s what the viewer sees.
"Lizard Unfinished" by Anne Baldwin
He is a little A4 framed colour pencil drawing showing the lizard trying to escape the page as I draw him. He comes more to life the more my hand draws him. He’s curious about the world outside his page.
"Basic Instinct" by Anne Baldwin
A1 - Framed pastel illusion painting showing the basic
instinct of human nature over that of the bears showing the need to love and be loved. We don’t need money and power.
