creating a quiet space to slow down and reflect

"Our new beautiful painting is sitting happily on the wall and we are so please with it. I just wanted to compliment you on the care taken with its packaging, it was a pleasure to unwrap and I was delighted with the certificate."

where it all happens
Welcome to Annmarie Thomas Paintings
​Living and working in the countryside, surrounded by sheep, horses and all rural life and nature have to offer - there's so much here to keep me inspired but it's the peace that comes from being outside that I really want to capture in my work; when I'm there I feel forced to breathe, to take stock and find hope in just the smallest of details...a new bud thriving on its own or that little flash of blue sky through the blue/purple storm clouds.
​
Painting subjects that uplift me, with colours that excite me, using marks that make me happy. Using handwritten annotations, layers of mixed media and the use of vibrant and varied colour.
​
My work is available in a variety of sizes to suit a range of budgets and I’m always happy to discuss commissions.
​

I'm intrigued to think that today I'm creating a painting for a person I just haven't met yet...when the painting eventually finds the person, then and only then is that painting complete.
W o r k s h o p H o s t i n g
Are you a Hampshire based art group of up to 20 people ready to try something different; I can host a workshop session for you.
​

C o m m i s s i o n a P a i n t i n g
I love the challenge of a commission where we work together to agree a size, colour palette and theme so your painting will be personal to you.
​
As I paint instinctively the final outcome will be a surprise to me and to you. To this end, there is no obligation to purchase the finished painting if you just don't like it; this way I feel I can paint true to myself while creating something unique to you.​

Sustainability
Having grown up in a 'make, mend and do' household, I'm always looking for ways to make my practice sustainable; from sourcing the materials I use, to reducing wasteful processes and re-using/re-cycling where ever I can.
​
And for each original painting sold up to the end of 2024, I've made donations to JUST ONE Tree, a non-profit initiative removing CO2 from the atmosphere through global reforestation.
​
For 2025, I've been concentrating on reforestation projects closer to home and now donate to AVON NEEDS TREES for each original paintings sold.
ANT is a registered charity creating new, permanent woodland at a landscape scale to tackle the climate and nature emergencies.​​​

Stockists
​If you're local to Salisbury, you'll find a selection of my work to view and purchase in the gallery shop at Fisherton Mill, a large independent gallery set in an airy and spacious converted Victorian grain mill, where you can while away the hours, shopping and dining in this unique courtyard setting.
I know how tricky it can be...you really want to give the gift of an original painting to celebrate a special occasion or person but what if they don't like the painting you choose for them...not a problem!
​
You can use one of my Gift Certificates which come in digital and physical formats and amounts to suit you.
Or perhaps you'd like to browse my back catalogue of available work.​
