AKA Annmarie Brandstädter I have painted since I could hold a crayon in my hands and the walls were my canvas. As a child I dreamt of becoming an astronomer but a wise student counsellor sent me to design school. After working twelve years, mostly as a graphic designer, I chose to go to university to become a science and art teacher. Now, after ten years of teaching public school, I’m pursuing another dream, to become a full-time artist with my own art courses. I create in many mediums but encaustic and oil and cold wax are closest to my heart.
