“I had the pleasure of commissioning Anne after I had seen one of her art pieces. It was so easy to work with Anne, I was given a clear sense of how the project would go including the timing, sketches, updates, payments and shipping. It went flawless, the painting was received on time and exceeded my expectations! Thank you, we are enjoying the painting so much! ”

“
We came across Anne Gudrun at the North Shore Art Crawl two years ago. We were with our two children aged 6 and 8. We were all entranced in her newest piece on show and knew we wanted to buy it immediately. Unfortunately it was sold and we’d have to wait until she finished a commission for us. Our piece is now a constant source of wonderment as we use our imaginations to look into the birch forest and the hiding animals, faces and colours.”

“In July 2015 my husband and I approached Anne Gudrun to commission a painting. We had first seen her work in May, 2015 at Art Vancouver and were instantly drawn to her nature collection with its abstract realism and bold colors. We met with Anne in her studio in North Vancouver and discussed the size, some of the colors and general content we were looking for. She was very easy to talk to and explained her process. After settling on the size and price and giving her a deposit, we left Anne to work her magic. Anne is a true artist and we had no desire to try to influence her creative process. She kept us informed as the painting progressed by emailing photos and welcomed us to visit her studio at any time to view the work in progress. Anne was always very accommodating in arranging times for us to visit. My husband and I anxiously waited for the painting to be finished. It was worth the wait. Anne didn’t just put paint on a canvas for us; she created a story with her imagination, her talent and her paints. We have had the painting in our home for a month now and couldn’t be happier with it. It’s a gorgeous addition to our home and a wonderful reflection of the North Shore forests and their mysterious beauty. ”

“About two years ago I purchased a large forest painting done by local North Shore artist Anne Gudrun. The forest depicted by the artist is truly magical and unique. The colours are wonderful and it has a great feeling of perspective, as if you could walk right into it. Whether viewing it up close or from afar, it gives me great satisfaction.”

“Anne’s intuitive painting style beautifully captured me, the dormant chrysalis, dreaming into existence the life I wanted to manifest— an ethereal snapshot, if you will, that is a cherished memento of a personal journey into lightness...”
