Anneke Huisman is the founder of Yellow Horse Art Studio. A Whitinsville, MA native, Anneke is a graduate of Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI, focusing her undergraduate studies in the fields of Studio Art and English. A brief stint in Hickory, NC was followed by equally brief stints in Stockton and San Bernardino, CA. Anneke is now back in Grand Rapids. Along with Yellow Horse, Anneke is a kitchen designer at a major home improvement retailer. Married since 2001, her second child arrived recently …also acting like kids are her border collie, Merlin, and cat, Chantilly.

Yellow Horse Art Studio is the fruition of years of planning and anticipation. The studio began in the late 1990’s as DragonFire Design, comprising Anneke Huisman’s greeting cards that were derived from some of her artistic works and photography. DragonFire passed into history, and Yellow Horse Art Studio began to take shape. The studio focuses on art in its various forms, concentrating on sculpture, photography, and painting, with a lesser emphasis on drawing and textile-work. While the studio does not officially have a physical location yet, it is currently operated out of Anneke’s home, while suitable studio facilities are located.
