Anna Crichton is one of New Zealand's foremost illustrators and cartoonists, and the winner of the Qantas Media Awards Editorial Artist category in 2007, 2010 and 2011. A regular contributor to The New Zealand Herald, Metro, North & South, Listener and other publications, Anna has worked internationally for publications including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, The Bulletin and The Australian.

Dick Frizzell, judge of the 2010 Qantas Media Awards said:

"An enduring professional with a clever, soft and constant touch. Not a lot of illustrating of this calibre in New Zealand. Call me old fashioned, but all the Photoshop skills in the world are no good to you if you can’t draw."

Anna’s work is held in the collection of the National Cartoon Archives of the Turnbull Library and is updated regularly.

Anna extends her illustrative satire and originality to ceramics, where she relishes the often wonderfully unexpected results that emerge from the kiln. In October 2010, Anna was judged a finalist in the Portage Ceramic Awards, New Zealand's premier awards in the ceramic arts, with her work Mr & Mrs Kahu and Ms Falconer, a trio of interrelated forms.

As one of the first artists to exhibit at Letham Gallery many years ago, we are proud to welcome Anna Crichton back to our walls in July.

Exhibition preview 5pm, 28th July 2011 - All welcome. Exhibition runs from 28th July until 17th August 2011.

See you there!
