Article Evaluation
- I notice that the article is very short and only includes her birth, her college, and one award she was short listed for.

- I notice there is no picture, or images of her work

- There could be much more information on her work, where she's shown, what her work is about, etc.

- The article is neutral but does not provide much information

- I think this article would benefit from images of her work

ANJ SMITH

She studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in, London, England, 2002 with a BA Fine Art (Painting). Following, she got her Postgraduate Diploma from the Goldsmiths College at the University of London in 2003 and her MA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths College at the University of London in 2005.

Elements in her paintings combine landscape, fashion, still life, and portraits. Anj Smith’s detailed surreal paintings explore of self-identity, and life and death. Her work uses rich color and subject matter that is feral, erotic, and ambiguous.
