Australian-born and Bristol-based illustrator Anna Higgie has released a new series of works that combine the flat, abstract forms that she typically uses in her mural work, with human faces and portraiture.

Typically, Anna uses a combination of traditional and digital techniques to create her illustrations, and paints large scale murals by hand. Through her Hybrid series Anna merges these two different strands of her practice, combining the portrait aspect of her the illustration work, with the colourful and abstract shapes she uses in her big scale murals. The process was very playful, using fashion inspired imagery, dancing forms, and a palette of joyful bright flat colours.


Anna has worked with many clients in the UK and abroad including Vanity Fair Paris, Laurence King Publishing, the Guardian, the Financial Times, Penguin Books, Planet Mu Records, GQ, Green Man Festival, the National Institute of Fashion Italy and is a regular contributor to British Vogue.
