ANJI TIMLIN

(b. 1974 Leeds, UK)

Anji Timlin works from her studio at Dean Clough in Halifax. She is fascinated by the dramatic Pennine landscape with its ever-changing light and weather, and the unexpected beauty in traces of the human footprint. From the ancient cup and ring stones high on the moors to Victorian industrial ruins that take in auto-rewilding, anarchic and weedy, and the ghosts of the roads, mills and quarries that connect us to our past. She is alert to both the realistic and the symbolic nature of landscape, history and to local mythologies.

Anji paints with acrylic, gouache, and digitally. She trained in textiles at Bradford School of Art and has worked as a textile designer, illustrator and lecturer. In 2019 she won the Joan Day Painting Prize and in 2021 she was long-listed for the Jackson's Painting Prize. She has exhibited at The Old School Gallery, Muker and Coles Gallery, Leeds.
