Ann Carrington is a British artist who creates wondrous sculptures from materials like buttons, safety pins, silver forks, scallop shells, oyster shells and even coconut husks. Other than a very active artistic bone in her body, she has studied Fine Art and completed MA sculpture to enhance her artwork.
"As soon as I was old enough to hold a pencil I wanted to draw, paint and make things. I remember saving up for a year so I could purchase my first camera when I was seven and then when I was nine my art teacher at school gave me a present to take home - a box of beautiful inks and drawing book. I enrolled at the local art college when I was ten where they had weekend art lessons for children - needless to say I loved it!"
shares the artist.
