Biography

Anne StormSince childhood I have been interested in art in some form. As a child the music was very important to me and ( is still) I  painted and dreamed myself into the world of music.

I love to be in my own world and dreaming myself away. Painting came into my life seriously when I was 20 years old. When I paint the painting itself is a fast process. I am painting with my inner feelings, thoughts and with a message behind. In the beginning I was drawing in charcoal, I had a black and white period. Earlier I was painting a lot of Indians and wolfs because I am interested in their culture and I am a big supporter of human and animal rights.

I have also been living in Kilpisjärvi in Lapland, Finland. I was painting and walking in the mountains and it was one of the best moments in my life, because I found peace and harmony in my life up there.

Nowadays strong colours and landscapes has been coming into my art and I do a lot of textured paintings with palette knifes

Also, the music in me will never die – It inspires me. I hope that you enjoy your visit in my world!
