Artist’s Bio

Anne Marie was born in Denmark in 1947. After moving to Canada in 1973 she initially made children's clothing - mainly knitwear. She attended the Alberta College of Art in Calgary as well as studying fashion design. In Vancouver she studied textile arts at Capilano College.

Inspiration for her work comes from vibrant colours in decaying surfaces such as the buildings of Ancient Rome. When working with the fabric she tries to respect the "value" of the fabric, but enjoys playing with the contrasts that can be achieved with the process.
