Meet the Artist
I’m Anna Marie Howell- my family and friends call me Annie. I’m short, sweet and a little bit sassy. I am an emerging artist living in the charming little city of Greenville, South Carolina with my husband and two little girls.
I grew up involved in the arts; singing, playing piano, drawing and painting. However, it is only recently that I have begun to explore and express myself through art and sharing my work with others. I always say that I’m an accidental artist. Never having formal training, I didn’t know I could even paint until after college. I began painting as a hobby while working in corporate marketing for about twelve years and when I had my first daughter in 2017, I left the corporate world to stay home. I have been so blessed to be at home with both of my daughters while pursuing my accidental artist dream.
Through bold colors and rich texture, my goal is to transport you to a place of peace and wonderment so that together, we can appreciate the beauty of the earth.
I create bold and colorful waterscapes and landscapes. I use mostly acrylic paint and often mix in metal leaf, pencil, and oil pastel details. I am inspired by both God’s handiwork- namely coastal landscapes like marshes, the ocean, sunrises, and sunsets- as well as the abstract shapes of man-made architecture (bridges and buildings). Every day presents me with new color palettes, new visions, and new ideas for my artwork.
