Hi, I’m Annie, and I love to create. Art has been my “safe-haven” since I was a young child. So, I’ve been creating for most of my life. I love getting in touch with my soul and forgetting the real world as I create.
What I do
I am a multi-media artist, creating with collage, acrylic, pastels, India inks and watercolor. I want to create work that speaks, that has a message. I’m big on Conservation and Preservation and I tend to reflect that in my work. We only have one Earth, after all.
Why I Create
I began creating as a young child and have continued to create as a form of release. I find creativity is a great healing modality. It is a meditative process that takes me away from the difficulties and stresses I face on a daily basis. It gives me a rest from the things that interfere with my peace and well being. My inner peace is important to me and creativity helps to foster that peace within me by removing the thoughts that cause worry and anxiety. Creativity takes me to a state of mind of simply being. Worrisome thoughts are dissolved in the process and I can see things from a different perspective.
