ANNIE OWENS

Annie Owens is a watercolor artist living the Bay Area California with her partner and their one-eyed dog, Ripley, as well as the spirit of their beloved pug, Donut.
In mostly monochromatic tones of grey, she paints small unmoored houses that twist in the breeze, enduring women with starched collars, unassailable eyebrows, and living hair; dorky girls with defiant teeth and overlarge feet.
Annie has participated in a variety of solo and group gallery shows since 2009.
Annie is an avid backpacker and environmental advocate.
She has a BA in Film and Video and is co-Founder/co-Editor at Hi-Fructose New Contemporary Art Magazine.

Her figurative paintings depict sullen faced girls, who confront viewers with sometimes malicious stares, sometimes with a baleful gaze. The figures represent qualities within familial relationships and the varying complicated degrees of affection, malice, distrust, pain and love that exist within them.
