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.

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!
We admire your work.
