Hi, I am Annie.

I am an artist | illustrator | designer based in the leafy suburb of Newlands, Cape Town. Having founded and headed up my packaging design agency for some 30 years, I now primarily focus on creating by hand, fulfilled by an artistic practice that is more contemplative, less digital and fast-paced. The intrinsics of tangible textural materials like paper, brush and watercolour pigment are inherent in my process.

I am inspired to paint modern botanicals that surface both from the imagination and found objects to document memory and evoke a sense of place. The illustrations flow between considered and contained to playful and spontaneous.
