Sanctuary - Inside the Imagination of Anthea Wright

the artists

I''ve been drawing since a small child and I've always been in love with all things magical. Fantasy novels have filled my bookself from a young age. I discovered digital painting while I was in highschool and have been painting with Adobe Photoshop ever since. I'm also fond of a variety of traditional mediums such as fine art markers, conte, charcoal and arcylic paints.

I've recently completed my Bachelor of Visual Arts specialising in New Media at UniSA, and I'm now part of an amazing team of students in the Bachelor of Creative Arts Digital Media and Screen at Flinders Uni. We've been making games and film and all kinds of fun things.

I've also been working as a freelance artist for the last 3 years, working with people on tattoo designs, business logos and story illustrations. I love creating art, and its taken me all over Australia to different conventions like Armageddon, Gencon OZ, Avcon, and many more.

My work has appeared in quite a few exhibitions around Adelaide, along side fellow artists Emerson Ward, Gee Greenslade and Raven Blaylock. One of our favourite exhibition spaces has been the Crown and Anchor Hotel so keep an eye out in the upstairs bar for my art.

When I'm not painting or drawing, I love to play a whole range of games like Warhammer and Magic the Gathering. I also spend a lot of time playing Xbox ...for inspiration. Other than that, you may see me around Adelaide wearing strange costumes made by the wonderful Miss Moira and Miss Ge for fun.
