The Art LAb Team

I was born in Germany and moved to Seattle in 2013.

After receiving a masters degree in education, math and visual arts I worked as a teacher in Brazil, Africa, Germany and USA. In 2016 

I realized my life long dream to open ANNA'S ART LAB.

As an artist myself I enjoy sharing my ideas and inspirations with others. Everyday again I am fascinated by what art can do for personal growth and development.
