ANNA ÅSTRÖM

Everything starts with a dream…

There are two things in life that, since always, give me a very special energy – joy for life – those are Nature and Creation. From my childhood I especially remember the hill with birch climbing the mountain behind the house, the lake where we used to swim in summernights, the creek with the black well that never froze in wintertime, orphan lambs that we had to bottle-feed in spring, yellow fields of dandelion, ... and my father's workshop where I always had place and space. I could be there for hours sawing, nailing, sanding, painting, fantasizing ... doing ... creating ... Now I have my own workshop somewhere not too far, actually quite near, where the light and the ground is spanish with breezes from Sweden. There, in the shadow of large oaks, I make silver jewellery and some pieces plated gold. Sporadically I choose to work with brass and occasionally I still enjoy the acrylic- and watercolors. Each piece I create is unique – one of a kind – first of the one and only... I try to take care of the small, beautiful and simple details in my everyday and my biggest source of inspiration is still the Nature.
