Annie was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, into a large family residing in a typical Eastern Pennsylvania row home. Her mother’s Slavic heritage and her father’s background as an Irish steelworker form the culturally rich foundation that deeply informs her artistic creations.

The subtle influences of the alchemical process and the natural world guide Annie’s art and creations. Her work captures the interplay of distortion and beauty found in nature, reflecting both its harsh realities and harmonious balance. She embraces the chaos and order inherent in the organic world through her offerings, offering viewers a window into its complexity. Her symbolic and fluid creations inspire transformation and liberation, encouraging others to reconnect with their original roots and rediscover their authentic selves.

Having navigated a decades-long healing journey, Annie draws from her experiences to enrich her offerings. Everything she creates is an act of transmutation—transforming pain into beauty and challenge into empowerment. Through her work, Annie seeks to foster connection, evoke emotion, and inspire others to embrace their true essence.
