A little about ME

hey there!

It’s nice to meet ya! I’m Annie, an artist based in Los Angeles, CA. I use watercolor, charcoal, and colored pencil to create contemporary, realistic pieces that highlight the beauty of the objects, places, and creatures that we see every day.

My job is to create artwork and experiences that make our lives a little more beautiful. It’s a job that I take seriously and joyfully. As far as I’m concerned, it’s the best job in the world. ☻

Most of my life revolves around art in one form or another but when I’m away from my desk, you might find me:

  • Sampling all the flavors at the ice cream counter,

  • Watching Food Network with my husband,

  • Taking our dog, Archie, to the beach,

  • Painting my nails in a new color palette, or

  • Dreaming of our next trip and which sketchbook I’ll pack!

Thanks for taking the time to check out my site and work. I’m already looking forward to creating together sometime soon.

Best,
