Anne's Journey

Anne Wiziack was born on 29 April 1989 in São Paulo, Brasil. Since childhood, she had a deep affinity with the arts. As a teenager, she took her first formal steps along this path by studying manga at the traditional AREAE school in the Liberdade neighbourhood. Even so, driven by a passion for the environment and the desire to make a positive impact on the world, in 2008 she decided to pursue a career in Environmental Engineering, enrolling at Oswaldo Cruz College.

Although her heart was set on being an artist, Anne found herself pressurised by the uncertainties of an artistic career in the midst of the Brasilian economic crisis. When she finished her degree, she faced a stagnant labour market and was unemployed for over a year. During this period, she found refuge and purpose in free illustration and fashion design courses at SENAI, keeping her connection with art alive.

In 2019, with her European passport in hand, she made a brave decision: she left everything behind and moved to Liverpool, England, with basic English, limited resources and a big dream - to become an artist.

In just three months, she got a job in marketing, thanks to her design skills. The company invested in her education, funding a private English course. In Liverpool, she also met her current husband, who would become a key partner in her artistic and professional journey.

During the pandemic, Anne resumed her passion for illustration in full force. Driven by nostalgia for Brasil, she began to create delicate botanical watercolour paintings, depicting native plants and elements of tropical flora with sensitivity and detail. This process marked the beginning of the development of her authorial style, which began to evolve in parallel with her career in marketing.

In 2021 she became a member of the Dot Art Gallery in Liverpool and took part for the first time in The Liverpool Collection exhibition with her version of the Liverpool Liver Building done in coffee and watercolour.

In 2022, she began to explore the creation of natural paints, incorporating them into her botanical watercolours and urban sketches. The following year, he began teaching botanical watercolour painting and took part in the Supernatural exhibition at The Line Contemporary Art Space in London, with watercolour female portraits of a Baiana and an Indigenous woman. Also in 2023, she exhibited again in Liverpool, at the Liver Building.

After these remarkable experiences, Anne began to explore new possibilities with acrylic paint, seeking to create larger, more impactful works. This is how her series of paintings about Brasil and sustainability was born, culminating in her first solo exhibition Echoes of Brasil, in 2025, at the Liverpool Everyman Theatre.

Today, Anne Wiziack stands out as a visual artist committed to sustainability and the valorisation of her Brasilian roots. Her art reflects her international experience, her love of nature and her desire to inspire positive change. In addition to her artistic work, Anne supports initiatives such as the Socio-Environmental Institute and Bolsa ORO, which work to defend the environment and fight for the rights of indigenous peoples, quilombolas and riverside communities.
