Annaliese Wren is a PhD Candidate in the University of Bristol Law School with a specific interest in artistic copyright. Annaliese's research aims to shed light on the closed-list categorisation approach within UK artistic copyright, and how this may risk marginalising certain groups of creative individuals. Her project uses tactile artistic works as a key case study to demonstrate the limitations of the current approach in the UK, and contrasts this to the stance taken within EU Law. 

Annaliese has completed an Associate-Fellowship at the CREATE HEA Institute. She holds a Bachelor's Degree in History of Art and History, a Master's Degree and Conversion in Law, and has undertaken courses in Art Law at the Sotheby's Institute of Art, and Intellectual Property Law with the World Intellectual Property Organisation.

Annaliese currently teaches on LLB Law of Contract.
