We are very sorry to announce the death of Anne Cotterill in August 2010. She will be sorely missed by her family, friends and the many, many people who admire and delight in her work.

Anne Cotterill's solo exhibition which was held at Forde Abbey, Somerset from 6th - 20th September 2009 was a great success and was visited by many of her longstanding collectors and admirers as well as introducing new people to her work. Forde Abbey is a beautiful 12th Century Cistercian Monastery and stately home with spectacular gardens and Anne's paintings looked wonderful in these gracious surroundings.

ORIGINAL PAINTINGS  at

Thompsons Galleries in Aldeburgh, Suffolk . 

Anne Cotterill's sole exhibiton in August 2007 was a huge success with  paintings for sale at Thompson's Gallery.

Anne Cotterill appears In The Top Ten
of the Fine Art Trade Guild Best-selling Images Poll.

We are delighted that Anne Cotterill’s limited edition prints appear in the 2006 survey of top selling images, among those of other artists such as Jack Vettriano.  She is the only floral artist included in the top ten.  The survey in the October issue of Art Business Today finds a return to more traditional images.   Anne Cotterill was also featured in the article Flower Power in the same issue of the magazine which concludes that despite the present trend for stylised, semi-abstract floral images there are still successful classic floral artists that command a strong place in the market.

 A new book, A History and Dictionary of British Flower Painters 1650-1950, by Josephine Walpole includes a detailed analysis of Anne Cotterill’s work and her place within the tradition of British floral art.  The painting “Snowdrops and Catkins” is reproduced on the cover and the colour plates in the editorial feature “Sweet Peas” and “Lilies of the Valley”.  A marvellous, quality book for every floral painting collector.

The May issue of The Artist magazine, in 2006, was of great interest to Anne Cotterill enthusiasts with its Masterclass article on her painting techniques. The article featured many reproductions of her paintings, including one of her new limited edition prints “Spring Flowers”.
