Shed21 Design is the creation of Banks Peninsula artist Anne Skelton. Anne works solo in a wide variety of media and shares her time in a collaborative project Port Trades. Born in Lyttelton and spending her early years in Diamond Harbour, Anne has a strong attachment to Lyttelton Harbour. With its eclectic layers of natural beauty, historical influences and industrial grittiness, the harbour has always been the spiritual home calling her back. Anne's compelling wanderlust has led her to an IT career in the States and Europe. Then there was a stint in Hong Kong before embarking on truly intrepid voyages including working on a fishing boat in the Southern Ocean, on a research vessel crossing the Indian Ocean and riding a motorbikes through Rajasthan, Thailand and Vietnam. These experiences inform her art. |
