Discover My Artistic Journey
About Me
Welcome to ANNESCANVAS!
In a turbulent world full of uncertainty, fear and hate,
art is my act of resistance.
In my studio, I can shut out the barrage of information and sound bites and focus on making vibrant and joyful pieces of art.
I am a chef and baker by trade and an artist by passion. My artistic journey began following a big life shift and with the help of some good teachers along the way, I now enjoy a satisfying daily art practice. My days often start at 4am, to be in the studio before going to work, so I can create from a place of rest and not from fatigue and this decision dramatically changed my art practice.
In my most recent series,
I am exploring semi-abstract florals and an illustrative style of wildflowers that was inspired by my neighbour’s garden. My love of flowers comes from my father, who was a florist in Ottawa for many years. Accompanying him to work and playing with the vibrant colours planted the seed that has now flourished into my art.
My studio is full of bright and cheerful art and it is my deepest desire to spread that joy around.
