Anne-Marie has resided in many countries, from the U.S. to Canada, Chile, and Switzerland, graduating from l’Ecole des Beaux Arts in Geneva, Switzerland. She was strongly influenced by the “Fauves”, a loosely allied group of French painters with shared interests, including Matisse, Gauguin, Chagall, and Rouault, among others. Her works blends the European influence of her childhood, with the colors, passion, and folklore of Latin America where she later lived.

Anne-Marie’s paintings often express contrasting feelings, one might suggest closeness and community, another introspection and reflection. Subject matter ranges from portraiture and figuration to landscape, and themes surrounding humanness, climate response, and relationship. She has exhibited locally throughout California, and International exhibits include a solo show at Centro Cultural de Las Condes in Santiago, Chile, group shows at Gallerie Everarts and The Grand Palais in Paris, France, as well as Stockholm, Sweden.
