A rare find in contemporary African painting style, Anne employs the old style of 'monotype'. This method is achieved by painting on a piece of glass. She then places a sheet of paper on the finished glass plate and using a roller, presses the paper onto the still-wet painting. The paper is then removed from the glass and let dry. The result is a wonderful blend of colors with an interesting lack of texture, almost like a print. The use of this technique is an example of Anne's quest to experiment with color and texture, as well as utilizing a method rarely seen in African paintings these days..
