Q)What is that one line of quote that you abide by in your life or you would like others to follow?
Anne- One of those who I like the best is one I did last year to the fishes in the oceans. I was so angry when I realized how much plastic and garbage the fish are eating, so I made a statement for them. I send a pic after. I wanted to do it soft and beautiful at the same time, as saying something seriously.
Q)How have you been keeping up during the pandemic and what are the new things that you have started?
Anne- The pandemic was an extremely good time for my creations. I worked a lot as I was in lockdown at home.I started to do experiment with paper and mixing ink and coldwax. Doing more spontaneous thing, with no ideas. Everytime I found a deeper meaning and that was satisfying.

Q) Would you like to tell about your achievements ?
Anne- It is always hard to force yourself to achieve works. You are your own boss and you can just doing what you want. For me I need a routine and a goal, to expose or have an exchange with people. That’s why it was so important to have the people on instagram during the confiments. That helped me going on.
Q)Can you tell us about the process of making your artwork in short ?
