Anneke has been sculpting and painting full-time since she was 16 years old, when she was accepted into art school (Pro Arte; School of Art, Music, Ballet and Drama), she studied Theatre for three years after that. Since this time she has travelled to over twenty countries, and worked in four of them. Anneke’s recent works have been inspired by the fine balance created in ballet posesv - focusing the viewer on the classical lines created by these poses, she strips the figures down to the essence of form and exaggerates the energy and fine balance within the figure.
