Anne Siems

Anne Siems is interested in the human figure and the attributes that surround it, which reflect something about the being without giving a specific narrative. Ideas about life and death, sensuality, sexuality, nature, experiences in the realm of dreams, psyche, and spirit are Siems’s ongoing topic. A lot of inspiration for these pieces stem from her ongoing love for the art of the European Old Masters and early American folk art, as well as vintage and modern photography. Most recently, Siems’s work is an exploration of markmaking, reminiscent of weaving, stitching, and mending as well as an ancient alphabet or code. These are ongoing revelations—from painting to painting, abstract surfaces, realistic faces, and delicate lines move into a whole.
