Anne Sudworth is a British artist, internationally known for her magical trees and haunting moonlit landscapes. She has been drawing and painting since early childhood. She presented her first exhibition called "Visions and Views" which was followed by the highly successful “Dreams and Whispers” show and “The Dark Side”. She has since exhibited widely and her work can now be found in many collections around the world including Germany, Australia, America, Russia, India, Japan, New Zealand, Canada and the UK.

       She has had many solo shows and was invited to put on a major solo exhibition at Strawberry Hill House, the famous Gothic Revival villa built by Horace Walpole. She has been Artist Guest of Honour at Dragoncon in the US and Artist Guest of Honour at both Eastercon and Bristolcon in the UK. She has also appeared as a Guest Artist at all of the Fantasy Forest Festivals and appears regularly at certain Goth events.

       She says "For as long as I can remember I have had a passion for all things dark, romantic and strange. Even as a child, the eerie or otherworldly gained my immediate attention and amongst that which was gothic, I felt completely at home. Whilst growing up I was drawn to the natural beauty of the landscape, particularly that of the English Lake District with its rugged untamed character and wild changeable moods. Spending so much time there prompted my interest in folklore and mythology, the tales of mystery, magic and the supernatural seemed to fit so perfectly within the landscapes I had come to love." Her interest in mythology and folklore was to increase and has developed along with her love of poetry and classical literature.

      Her dark, moody pastel paintings are deeply involved with nature and its more mystical aspects. This is probably most evident in her Earth Light Trees, an ongoing series of paintings which represents a central theme in her work. Moonlight is also a dominant feature, with the moon in various phases providing an important part of the symbolism, which runs throughout her paintings. The stony path is another recurring motif, often, representing life and our journey through it. She is also well known for her depiction of some of Britain's megalithic sites including Stonehenge and Castlerigg.

      She is a self taught artist, always preferring to explore her own ideas and works with many different mediums including oil, watercolour, clay and pen and ink though her favourite mediums are pastel and charcoal. She also sculpts, writes poetry and designs and makes all of her own clothes, which she sees as another aspect of her art. Her inspiration comes from many things including dreams, nature, death, mythology and folklore. Her work has been described as ethereal, visionary, magical, gothic, fantastical and occasionally surreal and her strange, haunting works, particularly her moonlit scenes, have influenced many.

      In 2000 the first book on her work was published, called “Enchanted World: the Art of Anne Sudworth” written by award winning author, John Grant. This was followed by a second book called "Gothic Fantasies: the Paintings of Anne Sudworth". A new book on her work has been published in 2026, called “The Ghosts Who Sit Upon Imaginary Thrones” which features her paintings, drawings and poems. Over recent years the demand for her work has grown and her original paintings, drawings and prints are now sold widely through a number of galleries.
