Anne’s practice revolves around painting, photography and printmaking, with these techniques sometimes utilised in combination with sculptural elements.

Central to Anne's work are themes of sexual and cultural identity that relate to our natural environment and reference a range of topics taken from history and mythology.

Environmental issues are never far from Anne's concerns. Her visual arts research involves an examination of geomagnetic ley-lines, ancient sites, Sheela-na-gigs, and rituals such as divination. Anne likes to engage in quiet conversation with nature, gleaning knowledge from an intimate connection with the elements and then using this experience to produce art which invokes a sense of spirituality and an increased awareness of ongoing environmental issues.

Anne Martin Walsh graduated with a 1st class, BA Honours Degree in Fine Art from the Wexford Campus School of Art And Design in IT Carlow in 2017 and completed her Masters Degree in Fine Art at CIT Crawford College of Art And Design in January 2019. Anne now lives and works from her home studio on picturesque Bree Hill in Co. Wexford.
Anne is interested in colour, the layering of paint and different forms of mark-making, working intuitively on canvas, board or paper.
The art becomes visceral, primal and gestural in its making, with embedded references to a landscape inscribed through the chosen medium.
Her printmaking process is kept as organic as possible, using collagraph, woodcut and dry-point, the subject matter remains earth related.
She considers her photography to be an integral part of her process while also serving as documentation for her more ephemeral artwork.

Anne has participated in several groups shows in Ireland during 2019/2020, including the Enniscorthy Arts Trail and the joint exhibition FORCE/EFFECT/RESPONSE in The Creative Hub Wexford which ran from 14th December 2019 until 12th January 2020.

Anne was one of 8 artists selected to take part in the in-school residency programme The Living Arts Project 2019/20. Her solo exhibition, VIBRATION: Embracing a Higher Connection to Our Planet at Kamera 8 Wexford in 2020 was her first major solo show since graduating from her masters studies. Anne was also part of HERE TOGETHER: Architectures of Belief & Rhythms of Ritual, a collaborative exhibition in Carlow College/St. Patrick’s Carlow.
​Anne is also a member of Nua Collective, a virtual platform that hosts Irish artists as part of an inclusive, supportive community. Anne was awarded an Artlinks Bursary 2020 by Wexford County Council Arts Department which supported the creation of artwork for this online exhibition.
