Anne Siems

Celebrated for her explorations of the human spirit through beautifully rendered figures, Anne Siems paints with an eloquence and mastery that is a testament to her range as an artist.

Referencing the lace and applique of her early career, Siems’ current subjects explore tattoos as a signal of inner wildness, pronouncing their stories, fables, mythical belonging, and rites of passage. Her figures are smart and creative, and they have something to say. They speak of freedom of expression and of a deep connection to the universe.

Siems was born in Berlin, spent formative years in Buenos Aires, and later attended the University of the South in Tennessee. After completing her MFA at the Hochschule der Kunste in Berlin, Siems settled in Seattle, where she currently lives and works. Anne Siems work has been shown in a myriad of solo exhibitions and her work can be found in collections spanning the globe.
