Anna studied traditional oil painting and figurative drawing at the Aegean Centre for the Fine Arts on Paros and at Grand Central Atelier in New York. She specialises in colorful abstract expressionist drawings and in atmospheric black&white pencil illustrations.

She draws inspiration from jazz melodies and from the Mid Century Modern colors, illustrations and fabrics of her childhood.

Anna creates for the joy of creating. She thinks of drawing both as a meditative practice and as dancing with a pencil. Her intention is to give the viewer a pleasant aesthetic and emotional experience, and to remind people of harmony, happiness and freedom — for if the artist doesn’t do it, who does?

Raised in Flanders, Anna lived in Brussels, Big Sur and LA before settling down on Paros in 2009.

Her work is showcased in Todd Marshard’s gallery in Lefkes and in the gallery of Rabee Younes,  www.arttherapyparos.com.
