Annie lives, fishes and creates art on the North Atlantic sea coast of America. Her home studio is based in Montauk, NY at the eastern tip of Long Island. There and wherever she travels she practices the age old Japanese printmaking craft of Gyotaku.
Using this nature printing technique with water soluble, non-toxic inks and freshly caught fish, she makes original hand made relief prints on a variety of new, recycled and random fabrics. The edible fish are returned to the fisherman or are shared with family and friends.
Her work has been featured on the CBS Sunday Morning Show, on the Ovation Channel, in the New York Times, on Red Lobster restaurant menus, in the East Hampton Star, East Hampton Press, Edible EastEnd/ Brooklyn/Manhattan and in Dan's Papers.
