Anney Bounpraseuth
Visual Artist (Ashcroft, NSW)

Anney is currently studying a Diploma of Fine Arts at Campbelltown TAFE and working as a volunteer at Casula Powerhouse, and for a Southwest Sydney Art magazine project called SWAY.

She has volunteered at Campbelltown Gallery, cataloguing artworks, doing artist research assisting tours and general front desk work, and also has work experience in costume design, face painting, running children's art workshops, visual merchandising and assisting art festivals.

"I've always had an interest in working with the local community especially since art in Southwest Sydney isn't as well established as other places and I passionately believe it shouldn't be that way. Some view the Southwest and the people in it as dull and uncultured. So in my works I try to exalt the everyday, the commonplace, the rejected, the forgotten and point to it's delightfulness and sad beauty."

Things like secondhand objects, working minimum wage jobs, waiting at the bus stop, falling over inspire Anney. To her, these are like universal metaphors in life and enable people to relate to her works and not feel alienated.

Anney is interested in connecting with other visual artists and group exhibitors.
