In 1887 she married Johann Heinrich (Henri) Kernkamp, from Edam, Netherlands.[3] She started painting after the wedding and thus signed her work "Anny Kernkamp". As a result of her painting Anna suffered from an eye disease, which forced her to stop painting around 1913. She died on 9 February 1947 in Brasschaat.[4]
