Summer Brush Painting

With a cultural background in France, Sweden and Germany and three native languages, Ann-Marie Stoehr, who was educated and who pursued her art studies in all three countries is a true citizen of the world. She obtained an MFA in Fine Arts, New Media from the “Hochschule der Bildenden Künste Saar” in Saarbrücken Germany, where she studied under Beuys’ student and feminist video and performance artist Ulrike Rosenbach, after studying painting in Sweden at Dômen Konstskola Göteborg, and receiving a grant for a student exchange at the Ecole des Arts Décoratifs Strasbourg. After 17 years in California she moved back to Germany, where she works as a visual artist and an educator, combining her internationality in her work, where language often is integrated, as in spoken word performances, written pieces or her titles. Her work is officially represented by the Swedish Art Council, the Cultural Office of Gothenburg and the Cutural Office of Rheinland-Pfalz in Germany.
