Anne Willieme
Creator and Leader ArteLing

Anne Willieme, Creator and leader of ArteLing, combines artistic insight and structured practice to help people learn French. Willieme brings to ArteLing over 25 years of experience as an artist, art lecturer, collaborator with leading American museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, designer of innovative educational programs, and passionate creator of art, perception, and language learning synergies.

Having grown up in Europe, Willieme, a native English-French bilingual, fluent in Italian, developed an early passion for language learning and cross-cultural understanding. Her ArteLing programs, which combine art, perception, and French language learning, use her proprietary perceptual-art methods to help individuals perfect their French.

For over a decade, Willieme has also led ArtMed inSight, an organization, which she founded, and which was dedicated to providing medical students, physicians, and healthcare practitioners with pioneering perceptual-art training programs to help them strengthen their perceptual intelligence to enhance their visual diagnostic and communications skills.

A visual artist too, her independent art practice explores perception through immersive, interactive experiences—informing her education design work while remaining a distinct, experiential space for exploration. Willieme works with diverse art forms including choreography, photography, printing, painting, and installation. Her exhibition and art installations have been shown in galleries and public spaces in major cities in both the U.S. and Europe. She is currently based in Washington DC and New York City.
