Early life and biography

Anna Glynn was born in 1958. [1] She grew up on a one-hundred-acre Yarra riverfront farm at Warrandyte on a property with important wildlife habitat now owned by Parks Victoria. This bushland location formed the basis for a creative childhood interacting with nature and has influenced the subject matter of her work including her 2006 Strange Memories, [2] featured on ABC Radio in 2011.

In 1980, Glynn graduated from Melbourne State College, University of Melbourne with a Bachelor of Education majoring in sculpture and painting.[ citation needed ]

Glynn's artworks feature explorations of nature and the environment, and the human connection to landscape. [3]

Her exhibition Promiscuous Provenance, commissioned by Shoalhaven Regional Gallery, explored Australia's colonial identity through a contemporary reinterpretation of early representations of Australian flora and fauna. [3] It toured multiple museums and galleries across Queensland, New South Wales, ACT, Victoria and South Australia from 2018 to 2021, supported by the Australian Government's Visions of Australia touring program.
