Anke's paintings are filled with rich and vibrant colors, varied depths and striking lines. Her abstract impressionistic paintings integrate the chaos, connection and close proximity absorbed from her travels around the world and her European roots. "In my paintings I consider the relationship between abstraction and representation, exploring a fusion of both elements. The content is at once organized and chaotic, digitized and organic. Bold colors meet delicate hues within a picture plane that refuses definite identification." Anke's work can be found in many private and corporate collections in the United States, Europe and China.
