ANNIE PAINTS IS A FREELANCE SIDE PROJECT I STARTED TO SATISFY MY LOVE OF PAINTING AND DRAWING. 

 

   I AM CONSTANTLY STRIVING TO LEARN NEW TECHNIQUES AND WHILE MOST OF MY ARTISTIC ABILITY IS SELF TAUGHT, I HAVE TAKEN COLLEGE ART COURSES FOR PAINTING, DRAWING, AND ART APPRECIATION.  

​

   I AM A TV LOVER, AND MOST OF MY FRIENDS WOULD TELL YOU I AM POP CULTURE SAVVY. I GET A LOT OF INSPIRATION FROM CHARACTERS AND THE CELEBRITIES WHO PLAY THEM.

​

   ALL OF MY FIRST COMMISSIONS WERE GIFTS. "I'M TOO BROKE TO BUY YOU SOMETHING, I'LL PAINT YOUR DOG" TYPE OF GIFT. AFTER GETTING TO KNOW A FANDOM FOR THE TV SHOW "COMMUNITY" I STARTED A GIVEAWAY IN CELEBRATION OF THE SHOWS RENEWAL. TWITTER USERS WOULD SEND ME REQUESTS BASED ON THE SHOW AND I WOULD PAINT THEM. THEY BECAME MY FIRST CUSTOMERS AND I HAVE BEEN LUCKY TO HAVE THEM SUPPORTING ME SINCE. 

​

   I OPENED MY ETSY STORE IN EARLY 2016 AND HAVE SINCE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT MYSELF AS AN ARTIST. 

​

   FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME ABOUT COMMISSIONS, OR TV, OR JUST TO CHAT.
