Art to touch the heart
Antje grew up in Germany in a family where strong emphasis was placed on doing things with your hands. Her broad education in a Waldorf school gave her exposure and knowledge of many skills in addition to a form language that was deeply embedded in her creative vocabulary and that she draws from in her current work.
Antje is a german trained Goldsmith for 30 years now and has lived and worked in Maine USA for the past 27 years.
