Ann Shelton is an artist living in Wellington, New Zealand. Working with photography, performance, doubling, spoken, textual and printed matter, Shelton’s most recent research is manifest through plant-based photographic constructions engaging plant, gender focused, and anthropogenic narratives or histories, in particular the intersection of these histories with human knowledge systems and/or with feminisms. Her work has been shown widely internationally and extensively throughout Aotearoa New Zealand including a mid-career review exhibition at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki in November 2016 and Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū in December 2017. In 2019 she presented her first solo exhibition in the USA. Shelton is Honorary Research Fellow in Photography at Whiti o Rehua, School of Art Massey University.
