Welcome to my website!
Here is some information about my art and myself.
As an artist I’m very interested in exploring the fluidity of time and the experience of being in-between two states. These liminal states or spaces often create transitory beauty and strong emotions that are reflected in my work.
My mixed-media portraits tell strong visual stories, capturing the moment when tracks of life suddenly change and a shift in perception occurs. Such changes force us examine and re-evaluate our past and future.
In my digital-art work I create mysterious, dreamlike scenarios, aiming to draw the viewer into the fluid and sometimes unsettling ‘state of in-between’ where transition is happening and change will imminently follow.
My mixed-media work often combines photography, digital art, painting and collage. Other works include collages, abstracts, encaustic paintings and wood art. In all of my art he creative process is an important aspect. I love to let a piece take me where it wants to go and greatly enjoy making new discoveries along the way.
Please feel free to contact me with your comments, questions and inquiries. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
Cheers! Anette Schrage
