Anna Speirs | Fine Art

BIOGRAPHY

I am an Australian contemporary realist artist, specialising in still life and portraiture. My work is inspired by the beauty of Australian nature, focusing on tone, shape, and contrast. I often use objects from my local surroundings in my compositions.

After graduating with a Fine Art diploma from the A.G. Venetsianov Art College in 2005, I furthered my education at the Moscow State Academy of Art in 2013.

Today, my pieces find homes across Australia and the globe, adorning walls from Canada and the USA to Europe. I take pride in creating commissioned works that grace private collections, adding a personal touch to cherished spaces
