Hi I am Annie, an Artist | Illustrator | Designer

I am based in the leafy suburb of Newlands in Cape Town, South Africa. 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 my imagination and found objects to document memory and evoke a sense of place. Illustrations flow between considered and contained to playful and spontaneous.

I am currently evolving my paintings into a collection of Greeting cards and Limited Edition Archival Prints, with fresh work emerging in each new season.
