Anne Harwell — artist and creator of the Annechovie blog — picked her eight favorites at Clayton Gray Home. Her work has been featured in Daily Candy and Domino magazine, and her blog inspires creative minds all over the world. Anne was also kind enough to answer our fill-in-the-blank questions, so read below to learn more about her background and style.
MY BIO ...
I am a self-taught artist born in Michigan, but I've lived all over the country, from LA to Atlanta. I now reside in Bonita Springs, Fla., where I find inspiration in the laid-back, tropical lifestyle here. I started Annechovie a little over two years ago as an outlet for my work. Since then, the blog has grown beyond just a place to catalog my artwork, and now includes features on other artists and creatives, as well as design and sometimes even fashion. My readership is world-wide, with an average of 800 readers per day from as many as 45 nations. Developing great relationships with readers, fellow bloggers, and clients has been an unexpected bonus that is a real source of joy for me!
