Although still early in her career Anna King has experienced a sell-out degree show. And, in 2005 Anna received the Royal Scottish Academy Award from the RSA Student Exhibition. She also received the Ian Eadie Award, Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design.
Since graduating Anna has been working as an artist full time and has had several solo art shows as well as a number of mixed shows in galleries throughout Scotland.
Anna says: "I take an alternative view of the Scottish landscape and find myself drawn to lost, empty places such as a view from the roadside, usually only seen flashing past through a car window, or the outskirts of a city. I grew up in the Scottish Borders, surrounded by an expanse of countryside and this is where the atmosphere of space and light in my work has come from. It is an aspect of our landscape that will never cease to inspire me."
In 2007 Anna King received the top prize and a cheque for £20,000 in the inaugural art awards established by Scottish artist John Lowrie Morrison. The art competition was established to encourage traditional painting and is referred to as the "anti-Turner Prize."
Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the Anna King artist studio and like all Red Rag British art and Contemporary art it can be shipped worldwide.
