MULTIDISCIPLINARY
MESSY
METAPHYSICAL
Raised on the Estates next to the M1, now living in the smallest county in the UK (Rutland), I am a self-taught artist with a background in dance/choreography and a First Class Degree in Arts and Festivals Management.
My practice involves messy rituals of making that allow me to soothe, stim and (attempt to) make sense of a world that has never felt for me as a traumatised - working class - queer - disabled - neurodivergent menace.
What I create calls on personal and communal experiences of grief, loss, neglect and misfitting. Welcoming a devotion to play, rest, care, art and divination to face the tender and the sore, so that we can breathe with it for a moment and make an offering.
For me, those offerings are pieces of art that I need to share, and must continue to do. Ritual & divination is the method for me to survive and understand the unseen/unspoken parts of the human experience.
Before identifying as an artist, I worked as an event manager and creative practitioner, holding spaces for reflection, intuition, and belonging. Those early years - spent guiding others through creative and spiritual practice - built the foundation of how I now approach art:
as a form of care.
My community work continues through Time With Anna - an ongoing practice of tarot, tattooing, and illustration. Anna Roberts-Finn extends that conversation outward - gathering everything that sits between image, body, and spirit.

My practice is both spiritual and research-driven, a weaving of intuitive process and lived experience, whilst letting curiosity answer how different art forms affect the healing process.
I explore grief, ritual, lore, care, and transformation through a metaphysical lens. Paint, paper, sound, and movement become the language through which I ask:
How do we stay with what’s tender?
Over time, my work has evolved from the spiritual/creative practice of Time With Anna into something more internal and reflective.
Art as ritual and reclamation.
A way to stay with what’s complicated, to honour what’s lost, and to keep choosing tenderness in a world that doesn’t want you to slow down.
