Annet was the second oldest in a family of eight children. In her grandfather’s studio she discovered her greatest passion, painting, at a very young age. She followed art courses in Den Bosch and Belgium. People and nature were her greatest sources of inspiration. She also used the gifts of nature for her art. She called this “sustainable upcycling”. For years Annet Teunissen had a studio in the Wethouder van Eschstraat in Oss. She gave lessons and workshops and made hundreds of works of art at a rapid pace. In 2017 she moved to a new studio. She sold art there for a large part of 25 years last year. Annet would not have been Annet if it had not been done in a playful way. Buyers were allowed to know what they gave for a work of art, up to a maximum of 66 euros, her age at the time.She got rid of her work because she needed space for new art, not because she wanted to stop, never. Nothing hindered her in making art, not even the whiplash she suffered when she was hit by a car a long time ago during her trip to Santiago de Compostella. “I will continue to make art until it is no longer possible,” Annet Teunissen said in this newspaper last July.The end of her life took her by surprise. Works by Annet Teunissen are currently on display at K26 and in Museum Jan Cunen. Her last exhibitions live, it now appears. Two weeks ago today she cycled to the doctor with complaints. She turned out to be seriously ill. She passed away last Friday. Annet Teunissen leaves her children, grandchildren and husband behind. And a lot of art.
