Anneliek always had an enormous interest in visual art; creating her own world using textile forms, carpentry & painting. Growing up in a loving but conservative nest, there was no question of her being educated at the art academy. She followed a solid education & for years she worked as an office manager then as a teacher. But she couldn’t let go her dream and enrolled at the Nieuwe Academie Utrecht in the Netherlands. Her thesis covered the fascinating women's sexuality. Because of her studies at the art academy Anneliek had the feeling the sky was the limit, & working with her own body gave her a lot of self confidence & freed her from any existing straight jackets.
