Annabel Overbury was born in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, in 1955. She spent her childhood near the countryside, an experience that marked her artistic development. At school she found refuge in the art department, away from the hustle and bustle of a large, busy school, and was lucky to have a very demanding but inspiring teacher, Ruth Howell, who encouraged her to pursue art. This took her to Slade, where she studied between 1973 and 1977. Thanks to an intergovernmental cultural scholarship to advance her artistic career, she arrived in Spain.
The move to Spain, specifically to Andalusia, expanded his horizons and his vision, both from a personal and artistic point of view. The original plan was to spend nine months in Spain, but more than forty years later “I am still here because in one of these drawing classes I met my future husband, Emilio Sújar. Now we live with our daughter and son, Zhara and Emilio, in Estepona,” says the artist.
