Anne Exford - Painter
Anne started watercolour painting as a hobby when she retired. Soon this hobby became a passion.
Inspiration for her painting is drawn from the fascinating shapes of the rocks encountered on her walks in the Derbyshire Peak and the colours of South West France.

In 2005 Anne won the “Derwent Award” in an Open Exhibition organised by the Little London Gallery, Holloway, Derbyshire, with a painting of Matlock Bath. In the same year she designed the way marker for the 35 mile “Chesterfield Round Walk”.
In 2006 with a group of local artist promoting the beauty of the area she exhibited at the Office of Tourism, Catus in the Lot Valley, France.
