Watercolour painting of abstract shrubs with reflections and trees in the foreground in cool blue, pink=-purple and warm yellow hues.

Hi, I’m Anke

I’m a painter and photographer living on the beautiful West Coast of Canada where I create with gratitude on the traditional territories of the W̱SÁNEĆ people. I enjoy telling stories with words and images and I hope you can find some shared interest in this journey.

Latest Events and New Art

SPAC Point of View Challenge, on display April 1–May 30, 2025
at the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney, BC, Canada

Each fall, the Sidney Camera Club sponsors a competition for their members. From the member-submitted photographs, the Camera Club votes for the top ten qualifiers which are then presented to SPAC members who, in turn, vote for one winning image. SPAC members use the winning photo as inspiration to create their own interpretation of the subject in their chosen medium: painting, pottery, woodworks, fabric, glass, etc.

Art and Photo Galleries (more coming soon)

Art Galleries

My favourite media are watercolour and gouache for smaller paintings and acrylic for bigger ones but I’m always exploring and experimenting.

Wildlife

Just a few steps out of my door and there are garden critters and birds but if I’m lucky I might encounter deer, owls, bald eagles, or otters.

Photography

‘Sketch On Til Morning‘
My Journal and Newsletter

Three Ferns

Three Ferns is made with prints of real fern leaves from the woodland area of my garden. I covered the leaves with acrylic paint and printed them on canvas.
