Senverse

Anne Willieme brings to Sensverse over 20 years of experience as artist, art lecturer, collaborator with American museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, designer of innovative educational programs, and passionate creator of art, perception, and learning synergies.

As a multidisciplinary artist working with paint, installation, performance, augmented reality and choreography, she has held exhibitions in galleries and public spaces in the U.S. and in Europe in main cities such as Washington D.C., New York City, Brussels, Paris, Frankfurt, and Rome.

As education designer with a passion for melding polarized fields, Willieme has also investigated how sensory perception can link divergent domains--such as art, medicine, and science--and be brought together to create dynamic synergies. In this context, Willieme created ArtMed inSight, which uses art to train physicians and medical personnel in perception at leading medical institutions in the U.S. in order to support their visual diagnostic and communication skills.

She has developed a series of proprietary perceptual art-methods, which aim to foster a more creative and less conditioned way of seeing, leading to transformation and self-growth. Her seminars have been the subject of research by main academic institutions such as Columbia University and NYU Grossman School of Medicine.

Research results showed increased reflection; observation; self-awareness; and creative thinking as well as stress reduction for the participants who took her courses.

Willieme’s work at the intersection of art, healing and medicine has grown to include ecology, which has now become one of Sensverse’s focus points.

With a keen interest in foreign language learning, she has applied her perceptual art methods to language acquisition and created in 2017 French-with-Art, a project, which uses art to support French language learners in their French language acquisition skills.

With an ongoing attentiveness to dreams and dream research, she is a member of the International Association for the Study of Dreams. She has led workshops on dreams and creativity and was featured in award-winning film director Joe Berlinger’s shorts called The Power of Dreams.

Anne Willieme was also a lecturer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for ten years and writes on art and art and medicine. Her articles have appeared Spirituality and Health and Alive Magazine. She speaks nationally and internationally on the topic of art, art/medicine, and art and perception.
