About Anne
Anne Kramer is an artist inspired by nature’s organization of shapes and color, design that happens organically with its relationship to what is around it. She uses intuition that comes from inner knowledge of beauty, relationships, depression, nurturing and love to create her work.
As a fashion designer, she was frusturated by the limits her creativity had for the consumption of mass market clothing. Having a strong foundation in design, she uses design fundamentals while incorporating fabrics, thread and paint into cohesive art that expresses emotion and dynamics through her use of color, texture and shape.
