Imaginative and at times surreal, always sweet and whimsical.
Sometimes humorous and at all times compassionate, narrative photo art in which animals play the lead.
With her surreal animal collages Anneke Bloema tells us stories about us humans.
She depicts our characteristics, dreams, wishes, and intentions in fairytale parables.
Wondrous Goose:
Surreal Animal Art made from real photos
Imagination gives courage
He was three years old and he came to stay over at our place for the first time. His mother, my sister, would drop him off. Our dogs started barking as soon as they arrived. They wanted to sniff him. He was only a small child, just tall enough to look over the dogs. And though he knew us, our house and our dogs, it had become too frightening. He’d be here without his mother. Alone

We admire your work.
I would be delighted to include you in the Beautiful Bizarre Artist Directory! Your work is a great fit.
Beautiful inspiring art. Humorous stories that really touch me. A pleasant person with a warm heart. That is what Wondrous Goose is for me.
I had the privilege to participate in the making of and birth of Wondrous Goose. In the midst of the preparations I was struck by the enormous power of imagination. Wondrous Goose re-inspired me to always believe in ‘the impossible’. The beautiful artwork and stories have given me extra motivation to keep pushing the right way.
Thanks Wondrous Goose for the valuable and very pleasant time we have spent together. Have a wonderful flight!
Jury report Picture This! 2018
Through her use of digital collage to create credible fantasy worlds and add warmth to her characters, Anneke Bloema’s work shows a strong sense of contemporary picture book illustration. Interesting changes in perspective and place will capture the attention of the young reader, from a gosling practicing to fly in a yard to a full-grown goose in mid-air, silhouetted against the moon.
