Contemporary Art & Framing Services in Rugby
Established in 2007, Anna Lorimer operates as both an artist and gallerist in Rugby. With a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from Winchester School of Art and formal training at Sylvia Young Theatre School, my practice combines theatrical sensibilities with fine art techniques. My gallery on Regent Street showcases my textured mixed-media paintings inspired by European travel, alongside curated exhibitions. Having held solo shows at venues including the National Theatre Green Room and Di Rollo Gallery, I maintain a loyal following of art collectors.My creative process begins with photographic compositions translated into tactile collages using found materials before finalising with layered paint applications. As an Artist in Residence at a North London gallery, I developed my signature style blending abstraction with literal representation. The gallery offers bespoke framing services and appointments for commission discussions, maintaining accessibility through regular contact channels.

Services
Mixed-Media Paintings
Original mixed-media paintings combining found materials with traditional painting techniques. Each piece starts with photographic compositions translated into tactile collages before final paint layers. Inspired by European architecture and landscapes, these works balance abstraction with literal representation through layered textures and colour palettes.
Bespoke Framing
Tailored framing solutions designed to complement individual artworks. The gallery offers specialist advice on frame selection, glazing options, and presentation techniques. Services include conservation framing for valuable pieces and contemporary framing for modern artworks, ensuring each creation receives appropriate visual and physical protection through professional craftsmanship.
Art Commissions
Commissioned artworks created to client specifications. The process begins with consultation to understand spatial requirements, colour preferences, and thematic elements. From initial concept sketches to final execution, each commission receives dedicated attention. Clients may visit the gallery to discuss ideas or request site-specific works reflecting personal narratives or architectural contexts.
Gallery Exhibitions
Curated exhibitions featuring both solo and group presentations. The gallery hosts regular displays of the artist's work alongside selected contemporary pieces. Exhibition themes explore architectural forms, urban landscapes, and cultural motifs from Europe and beyond. Visitors can view current collections in person or access online showcases of available artworks.
European Landscapes
Specialist landscape paintings capturing European architectural environments. Series include European Streetscenes, Hilltop Views, and Venice collections. Each work interprets urban and rural settings through textured collage foundations and expressive paint applications. The collection reflects extensive travel across Italy, France, Spain, and Eastern Europe, translating observed spaces into contemporary visual interpretations.
