Anne Gee is an Australian artist based in Cottesloe, Western Australia. Her childhood days unfolded in the Western Australian country seaside town of Albany. This idyllic hometown setting was the stimulus for many of her unique works which evolved from a deep love of the sea, maps, story-telling imagery and her own journeys and childhood memories. Her arts practice includes illustration, intricate hand-crafted paper-cut works, ink pen maps, drawings, paintings and three-dimensional paper sculptures under glass. Many of her works feature vintage storybook characters and exquisite paper boats folded from 80 year-old, rescued pages from her vintage book collection. She has more recently focused on public art, ephemeral light installations and collaborative projects into larger scale sculptural works in both metropolitan and regional Western Australia.

“I love an artwork has the power to elicit myriad reactions, interpretations and conjure powerful memories and connections for viewers. My narrative for an artwork is just one side of the story.”
