Anna Coghlan

I was born in Manchester, England, in 1948 and have a background in medical administration. I spent my twenties living in the Middle East and working for aid programmes in India, Nepal and Bangladesh.

These experiences have shaped my interest in geographical and cultural dislocations. I repeatedly return to the marked body and the physical effects on the human figure of its environment and circumstances.

I moved to Canada in 1976 and since graduating from the BFA programme at OUC have regularly exhibited work in public and alternative galleries across Canada.
