Collages and constructions vibrant with colour, using a variety of materials such as paper, tissue, felt and encaustic to create a layering effect.
"Anstey's very unique use of shapes, textures and colours creates fresh and modern artwork that is unlike any other.
I love it!.
Above all, Anstey's work beams with colour, excitement and intrigue."
I am fascinated by how information is presented visually in such things as maps, which are providing data succinctly but at the same time are visually interesting. I think this fascination plays out in my work, sometimes in bold, sometimes in subtle ways.
Much of my work is in the form of abstract collage or construction made from coloured card, tissue paper, cut pieces of paper painted with wax colour medium, felt, printed paper and thread. The layering of both opaque and transparent materials and the manipulation of colour are important processes to me.

"Anstey's colourful, abstract art is uplifting and inspiring - it's always noticed and commented upon when our friends come and visit and see her pieces in our home!."
