Anna Käse was born in a small town called Werl in the beautiful Soester Börde.
Reserved and quiet, she observed the world from behind rather than from the front.
The result was - and still is today: "The world is a pretty pointless place!"
A fact that she has taken very much to heart.
"You have to be very creative to find meaning in meaninglessness," Anna Käse thought to herself and steered her life in a creative direction.

The circumstances didn't look good at first. In the grey surroundings of a secondary school, she searched for colors, held on to her idea and painted her goals in bright colors.
Things became more colorful when she obtained her vocational baccalaureate in design.
Things finally became brightly colored when she began her studies in free painting and printmaking in Essen in 2004.
Now the world of fantasy was open to her.
She finally had all the freedom she needed and recognized a purpose.
During this time, she also moved to Dortmund.
In 2005, she was even awarded a scholarship by the head of the art academy for her outstanding artistic achievements. This allowed her to think up even more meaning.
But thinking things up alone was not enough for Anna Käse.
Through her observations, she realized that she was not the only one who took the world to heart, but that other people were also walking around with heavy hearts.

How could she explain her meaning to people and help them?

She learned the ancient intaglio printing craft of etching and used it to present her world of fantasy to people. She explains: "The etchings I make are windows through which you can look into my world of fantasy. They are a piece of meaning in a meaningless world."
In 2008, she successfully completed her studies by receiving the Academy and Master Student Diploma.
This year, Anna Käse moved to Berlin-Neukölln, where she has set up her own business as an artist.
To make it easier for people to access her meaning, she began writing texts to accompany her etchings.
In 2013, she then opened her own world in a store in Neukölln. Here she ran her print workshop and gallery.
In 2017, Anna Käse moved back to her hometown of Werl. She had missed nature and peace and quiet, which is why her little world has since been located in the garden belonging to the little house at Rottmannsring 30.
In 2021, Anna Käse founded her own publishing house, „Alles Käse – Verlag“.
She wanted to tell the short stories in detail and published her first butterfly story in the form of a picture book: "When I grow up, I'll be a butterfly!"
