Anna came back to photography after years away raising a family and working as a policy officer in the UK Civil Service. It became a passion again when she was recovering from breast cancer treatment. In the last three years she’s won or been short listed in a number of competitions, including having a shot hung in the Scottish Parliament, as part of a touring exhibition on the theme of coastal erosion. She also writes poetry, though this is a more recent love, and has had two chapbooks published, Peeling Onions, a series poem about coming through a cancer diagnosis, and Heart Notes, just published by Calder Wood Press.
