Anna Glynn

Anna Glynn grew up on a one-hundred-acre Yarra riverfront farm at Warrandyte on a property with important wildlife habitat now owned by Parks Victoria. This bushland location formed the basis for a creative childhood interacting with nature and has influenced the subject matter of her work including her 2006 Strange Memories,{{Cite book |last=Glynn |first=Anna |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/224167629 |title=Strange memories : it's only forever ... |date=2006 |publisher=JoJo Pub |isbn=0-9757471-0-X |location=Melbourne |oclc=224167629}} featured on ABC Radio in 2011.

In 1980, Glynn graduated from Melbourne State College, University of Melbourne with a Bachelor of Education majoring in sculpture and painting.{{cn|date=August 2023}}
