Welcome to the world of Anna-Marie Kroes-Art.
The visual library of a female artist, who has tried
to capture time.

Life is too short and too fragile to be lived,
without creating something lasting.
Our day's will pass by, like the clouds in the sky,
like 'dust in the wind'.
So will the beauty pass by.
Not outside appearance, but the beauty of everything
around.

The color of the leaves in the fall,
The rainbow's, the unknown smiling child, and the
sunset behind the tower on the corner. The first
flowers in springtime.
The sound of rain on the roof during the night.
The visualization of music on a warm summers night.
The smile of a drifter, appreciating to be seen.
The feelings of love during a hug on the right time.
The unknown landscape, recognized by everyone who
dreams at night.

I offer you a journey through my life, through my
thoughts and my dreams.

Sometimes seen on real journey's, sometimes created in
my mind,

Bonaire, Dutch Antilles, (Caribbean), Telluride,
Colorado, USA, San Francisco, California, USA, and on
this moment Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Expanding my horizon, is a hearts desire, since
childhood.

First it was traveling to undiscovered paradises, or
radiant city's.
In those day's it seemed to be important to me,
to keep on searching the globe for something I now
recognize as true happiness.

Realizing now, the journey through live is the true
happiness itself.

Anyway, I offer you a journey through my world.
To show you some of what I have seen and felt.
No images without words, because without thoughts, my
art can't be created.
A fragile inner-world, until now undiscovered and
serene.

I hope you have a interesting time, sit back and enjoy
the ride

With respect,
A.M. Kroes.
