Anna Stubbs
Anna Stubbs is a UK based artist whose practice moves fluidly between botanical art, landscape studies, and intimate graphite figure drawing. Rooted in the quiet rhythms of East Sussex, her work is shaped by an instinctive attentiveness to the natural world – its textures, its emotional weather, and its ability to mirror thie inner life. She approaches each piece as a form of listening: to the curve of a stem, the fall of light across a shoulder, the way a horizon can hold both stillness and longing. Her drawings and paintings are known for their delicacy and depth, often blending find detail with atmospheric softness. Whether working in graphite, watercolour, or oils, she builds layers that feel both precise and dreamlike, inviting viewers into a space of contemplation. Her landscapes frequently capture quiet drama with a poetic sensibility.
Alongside her studio practice, Anna Stubbs is an art entrepreneur and facilitator of art wellbeing workshops for NHS staff, where she uses creativity as a restorative tool. Her medical background as an Emergency Medicine Consultant informs her understanding of burnout, resilience, and the therapeutic power of making. These workshops blend gentle storytelling, sensory grounding, and accessible creative exercises, offering participants a calm, low-stimulus environment in which to reconnect with themselves. Her work is deeply shaped by themes of care – care for nature, care for the body, care for the unseen emotional landscapes people carry. She sees art as a bridge between inner and outer worlds, a way of honouring fragility while celebrating strength.
