Anne Magill was born in Co. Down Northern Ireland in 1962. She studied in Liverpool before moving to London to complete her degree at St. Martin’s School of Art. After graduating in 1984, Anne Magill worked as an illustrator where she quickly built a reputation for her evocative drawings in charcoal and pastel, winning the B&H Gold Illustration Awards four times. Alongside her work as a commercial artist, she started to experiment with more intimate charcoal drawings based on memories reflecting her time spent with the army in Belfast, at Greenham Common and in Paris during her studies. The rapid, reportage drawings she made during this time became the precursor to a mature style in which her highly atmospheric paintings are built from anonymous, intimate images, appearing like memories frozen in time.

Two pieces of Anne ‘The Three’ and ‘Homeward’, are included in the Sotheby’s British and Irish Art sale.
