Annmarie Hughes
My paintings are based upon deep emotion, meditation and the power of light and dark.
I use bold colour acrylic on canvas or stark black and white ink on canvas to create an ambience of either uplifting harmony or disturbing discord.

What Will MatterReady or not, someday it will all come to an end.There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten - will pass to someone else.Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.Your grudges, resentments, frustrations and jealousies will finally disappear.So, too, your hopes ambitions and plans, and to do lists will expire.The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.It will not matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived, at the end.It will not matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant.Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured?What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built: not what you got, but what you gave.What will matter is not your success, but your significance.What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.What will matter is not your competence, but your character.What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you are gone.What will matter is not your memories, but the memories that live in those who loved you.What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.Living a life that matters does not happen by accident. It is not a matter of circumstance but of choice.Choose to live a life that matters.With thanks to Williamnot william green another williamfor this ...an important piece of advice for anyone.

Participatory Work
Participatory work includes:
Project management/ lead artist under 12’s and family based projects – Charnwood Arts
Over 80 pieces produced with/by children within two primary schools in Loughborough.
Within this role I led workshops and employed a bank of Artists to lead workshops within two primary schools (Cobden and Rendell) and in a number of community settings. I liaised with the schools to expand the provision they had for 38 children in the two after schools clubs to produce a curricular based theme run as schools residencies that were enjoyed by 148 children aged between 8yrs and 12yrs.
This was run in conjunction with holiday and community projects.
To facilitate this I was in charge of a £35,000 Budget and procurement of materials.
I also line managed two members of staff as well as artists employed on the project I liaised with local government funders (children’s fund) and have gained knowledge of funding and government directives on children’s centres.
During the course of my tenure I liaised with Campaign for Learning and The Racial Equality Council as well as Loughborough University’s widening participation officer.
I have also liaised with the local library and Charnwood Museum in order to foster long lasting partnerships. The partnership with Loughborough University has resulted in a mural produced by local children for family learning week.
Our provision also extended to participation in the Loughborough Mela and Streets Alive.
This project has had positive impacts on individual children and the schools as a whole.
I worked with all cultures and backgrounds, and children on the special needs register.
My tenure ended with a request from our funders for a report to be written about the impact of our project for inclusion magazine (a magazine produced by the funders circulated to other extended schools projects)
