Biography

Anne was awarded The Tyrone Guthrie Regional Bursary Award on two occasions in 2008 and 2003, and The Patricia Burke Brogan Annual Arts Award in 2002. 

Harkin-Petersen’s work is concerned with a world beyond the tangible, opening a portal into a domain that encourages the imagination to go beyond conscious reality, an exploration into possible alternatives to the prevailing influences of a predominantly materialist world.
