Hello there

I hope 2022 has eased it's way in for you. January usually starts off slow as I reflect on the past year and start to plan ahead. Winter walks at the beach are good for day dreaming and we have had a couple of cold days bringing with it snow and ice.

Creativity hasn't completely been sacrificed this month to planning, I did finish and ship this wave painting off to its new owners in Wisconsin. It arrived safely and they are so excited to hang it. Happy collectors put a big smile on my face for sure! Winslow seem to approve too!

Have you thoughts about a commission? You can read about the process here.

Hope you get to enjoy a winter walk - wrap up warm!

Let me introduce myself

Hi there, wanted to take a moment to say hello. I'm Annie: a painter, printmaker and a Brit who lives in the US. For many years I lived in New York City and worked in Economic Development for the British Government, despite having studied art and design 🤣. But I took the plunge to pursue art full time when I turned 40. The next few years i freelanced and studied an MFA in painting, at the New York Academy of Art, a post graduate fellowship and a 2 year artist residency on the east end of long Island. It was here where my interest in painting water really blossomed. My next move took me across the sound to Mystic CT and eventually to the Ocean State of Rhode Island where I live with Winslow my studio cat!

As an artist I enjoy working in many mediums, and a wide range of subjects which include urban, rural and coastal landscapes along with the figure. Right now I spend most of my time working in oils, I love the buttery quality of paint, pushing and pulling it around a canvas. As a printmaker I also love the spontaneity and directness of monotype. I find both mediums provide an opportunity to explore and expand my technical vocabulary. Switching between disciplines keeps things fresh. I think the magic happens in the space between control and freedom, so I’m always open to finding new ways to make marks, but I do love a nice palette knife to work with.

I was recently asked what art has taught me, I replied:
To be an observer of my inner and outer world, be still, look, listen, feel.
Embrace the process, enjoy and welcome little accidents.
Let go of expectations, and go with the flow.
And of course to enjoy my own company ;-)

When I’m not in the studio you’ll probably find me whipping up something creative in the kitchen for dinners with friends. I’m pretty handy around the house so will tackle light woodworking projects and DIY! I can easily get consumed in digital creative play with the Adobe Creative Suite!.

This pandemic year also got me exploring the art of book making, poetry and knitting! Otherwise I can be found exploring new shoreline walks, or enjoying galleries, movies and live music.
