Further Information about Anna Kirsten.

Anna produces both traditional and digital artworks, as well as photos.

*~*~*~*~*~*

TRADITIONAL ART

My traditional works are mainly in miniature form, including ACEO's, and I started putting together some sets, which will be on display as time goes on. (These are Artist Cards, Editions and Prints and are popularly collected in this format, as a relatively cheap way to obtain originals or signed and numbered edition prints.) Other traditional work is in water colours and ink, also some past oil paintings.

DIGITL ART

My digital artworks are very often fractals or fractal-based, sometimes with the incorporation of photographic elements blended in, or drawing/painting with the use of a pressure-sensitive digital art-pen.

All the art is intended to speak for itself and to draw an emotional response from the viewer.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Whilst disabling illness prevented me for many years from doing much photography, I'm pleased to say that this year (2008) I have had the privilege of enjoying better health (although this does tend to fluctuate), and I have vigorously renewed my enjoyment of this pursuit! Having been given a Canon 400D with kit lens for my birthday, I have since been acquiring various other lenses and filters, etc., studied what I'm doing, and watched significant progress in this specialised art-form. I will be sharing the best of my photos here.

INSPIRATIONAL WRITINGS

Another line of inspiration is in personal spiritual experiences, expressed in writings and poetry. Some of these writings are incorporated into this site to bring an added dimension to it and perhaps a little insight into my innermost being.

INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC

Onthe music page you can listen to some tracks from "The Sojourner", one of 5 CD's composed and played by me under my first and last names, Nicky Keates. All these CD's are available directly from me, please scroll down the Prints & Prices Page for details. Payment can be made via PayPal by arrangement.

*~*~*~*~*~*

• My Secret Garden - very classical in style throughout.
• How Awesome Are Your Ways - classical/ambient.
• The Sojourner - classical/ambient and some Celtic (the one demonstrated on this site)
• Call To Prayer - classical/ambient.
• Immortality - Strictly ambient and very, very relaxing if you have sleep difficulties! I made this specially for insomniacs, as when I needed it the most, all other CDs and tapes I listened to had various points in them which always managed to jar me awake!!!

For further details of how to obtain a CD (or even a set) please refer to my Prints & Prices Page. They are available directly from me so please contact me via the Contacts Page.
