Get on the Map

Annie is a visual artist known primarily for her large-scale murals throughout
Winnipeg. An important aspect of her work is her “mural mentorships”, in which she guides students of all ages and levels of ability through the process of creating a mural for their school and community.
Though primarily working in acrylic paint, mixed media is an exciting exploration that Annie is currently incorporating into her own art projects and murals. She loves incorporating tile, glass, found-objects, and various mixed media into her artwork.
Annie is passionate about sharing these skills with others, as well as engaging youth and community members in the creation of eclectic murals and artwork.

Featured Project

Community of Lowe Farm - School mural

This is a mural that I recently painted with students from Lowe Farm School. We painted on panels, which were later installed in the school's front entrance. The theme is 'community', and I worked with all students from k - 8.  Students enjoyed this process and the mural is looking fabulous in the school's entrance!

Student Mural -Bertrun E Glavin School

This is a recent project I worked on with students from Bertrun E Glavin School, in Winnipeg.  I worked with all students from k - 5, who each participated in some way to this project.  The mural theme was Community - since this mural will be installed on the school's exterior, and will be a vibrant feature in the community. We made 3 mini-murals, each 4 x 16'. I worked with a group of 'design students', who helped me create the initial designs. After that, we rotated through the students, starting from youngest kids who helped to paint the background.  I work in small groups, so that I can work one on one with students and show them new painting techniques.  Students had a wonderful time working on this project and so did I! The panels are currently in my studio, where I will be applying a coat of sealer to assure they will withstand our extreme Manitoba weather for years to come.  Once that's complete, the school will look after having it installed - and we will have some sort of unveiling ceremony.
