Sally Annett is a practising Multi-media Artist with studios in Bedfordshire and Milton Keynes.

She has travelled extensively, spending time in France, New York, Ireland, Toronto and Hong Kong.

Annett works in a very involved manner, which often requires lengthy research processes. The multi-media/multi-disciplinary approach she feels is a natural reaction to the world and media around us.
