Interiors
Every space has a story to tell, a road traveled. Working with you, we’ll learn that story and let it inform our direction. You know what you want to achieve. I know how to get you there. My services constitute a step-by-step approach to getting you from vision to reality, from any space to a space that meaningfully fulfills its functional intent.

Our Vision
Cultivating Tranqulity
I'm Anne O'Brien, artist, writer, storyteller. I tell stories through sculptures or pictures or words. At an early age, I was drawing house plans, painting, or writing poetry. Over the course of my life, my work grew and my stories became more meaningful.
I've always made time for art — sculpting, pottery, Norwegian folk art,
wood carving, dresses, jewelry, and interior design. I studied painting
at the Borgo Rinascimento International School of Art in Farnesi, Italy,
and with numerous other artists.
In artwork and in writing, we perceive our own reality, a glimpse of
life's intangibility — the light, the dark, the movement, the
continuance. From that perception, we abstract outcomes without
interference from the real, reflecting universality, individuality,
emotion that gives our work life and movement, evoking a world of our
own interpretation.
I strive to create artifacts that tell stories of the earth, paintings
that evoke truth and depth to inspire your own emotions and
interpretations, words that enable quiet reflection, and environments
that breathe.
Through
papier-mâché sculptures, evocative paintings, thoughtful writing, and
soulful interior design, I can bring tranquility into your home.
