Anne-Karine began her development as an artist in her youth. Her studies included weekly watercolor classes and a summer session at the Art Institute of Chicago. She later attended Indiana University and recieved a BFA in Painting and a BA in Art History.
Anne-Karine currently lives in Bloomington, Indiana where she is active in the Bloomington Water Color Society, Upland Painters, and Indiana Plien Air Painters Association. She has a particulair fondness for painting on location and regularly participates in paint outs.
"Painting for me is an immersive and contemplative experience. My work is a direct reflection of my observations at that particulair moment. While my paintings are representational, I try to push beyond the tangible to the simplified abstractions of shape and color."
