Annica Neumuller
‘I am Annica, a Swedish artist living in the UK since 99.
I went to art school in Sweden 96 to 98.
Painting or creating is something I do every day, as compulsory as breathing...
I lean towards the abstract. Excited when a dot, line, shape or colour happens to land where I feel it has "come home".
A constant balancing act of Chaos and Order, as I find life itself’

’I studied Forestry and woodland management 1 year Cabinet making and furniture design 2yrs after leaving school Added to that practiced carving spoons and bowl turning on a pole lathe
My style is influenced by George Nakashima, Sam Maloof also Japanese Arts and crafts
I put woods together that compliment each other and work organically with sustainable sources letting the grain shout out using mostly hand tools’

‘I am driven to paint most days, mainly in oil, hoping always to paint boldly, with a decent sized brush or occasionally a palette knife, to convey the excitement I feel by the colour around us, even under grey skies.
I work from life, directly onto board or canvas, or via sketches and studies that I’ve made while exploring the coast or inland. I also adore painting wild flowers or sparkly fresh produce for a still life. If working a painting up in my studio, the music I listen to often influences the energy of the final work. My dream is to offer a more joyful and colourful alternative to the woeful news offered to us daily.
No academics - just my total love of and connection with the natural world, a powerful awareness of the tender and transient beauty of living things …as well as a deep seated need to create. ‘
