Biography
Having painted for five years now, Anni Bretschneider has received high praise and encouragement for her watercolour art. She first discovered her own strong interest in watercolour painting after enrolling her daughter in a watercolour class for children. Her enthusiasm to learn the medium has led her to pursue watercolour painting with great passion.

Anni regularly studies on her own as well as through art classes and workshops to explore different avenues for watercolour expression. She is a member of S.O.Y.R.A. and the Markham Group of Artists. In her first showing in the Society of York Region Artists 2007 Fall Art Show & Sale, Anni received an Honourable Mention for her work titled ‘Blue Rocks, N.S.’

She continues to develop her skill with well-known local artists at the Schomberg School of Art, Markham Group of Artists and other art networks. Anni has also attended the Newmarket School of Fine Art and the Haliburton School of the Arts.

Through her use of texture, colour and movement, Wind is a perfect metaphor to describe the feeling she is striving for in her artwork. Her aim is to reflect its unpredictable and powerful, and at the same time calm nature. Allowing the medium to do its magic by letting go and being spontaneous, Anni hopes to capture the essence of the wind and these same feelings in her art.
