American, born 1955
Offering Original Oil and Acrylic on Canvas Painting
Born in Oregon, Annie Marquis also spent some time growing up in Italy and
England. From the get go, she was encouraged in art by her mother,
who also is an artist. In her early 20s, Annie started formal art
education attending various art schools in Southern California. Her
work has included media as diverse as oil, acrylic, ink, pencil, mosaic
tile, and clay. Today, Annie focuses on large format oil and acrylic
works, that often feature a dog with with its owners. Her works
are also characterized by detailed borders. "I am inspired by my
favorite painters. I use patterns and other images in a collage sort
of way. I'm inspired by the beauty of nature, the ambiguous, and the
ridiculous." Annie currently lives in Southern California. As you
might imagine from the dogs in her paintings, Annie has a great affection
for dogs, and has two dogs of her own.
Annie doesn't only have a reputation as a great artist; she is also
well-known for the culinary works of art she creates as a pastry chef in a
local bakery. And her handcrafted chocolates are as legendary as her
paintings, as any of her lucky friends will tell you around the holiday
season.
