Annie's Art Book Welcome to Annie's Art Book, where everything is created with hard work, a pinch of talent and a lot of love by me, Annie Holland.

A mom of 3, who moonlights as a marketing catalyst, weekend writer, and forever artist by heart. I have a little something for everyone- the food lovers, the art and craft lovers, the cake lovers ( yes, cake is not JUST food), the poets, the writers, the travelers, the dreamers and the inventors of every shape and size. Thank you for shopping with local small business owners like me! It makes all the difference to us and our families! You can find a gift for yourself or a loved one at my Etsy store:

I almost didn’t post this.

Which feels a little ironic, considering what the post is about.

I love making art.
I love writing.
I even love sharing the process sometimes.

What I don’t love is feeling like every idea has to be packaged correctly, timed correctly, hooked correctly, optimized correctly...or it may as well not exist.

I know visibility matters.

I know this is how people find the work.

I’m just tired of feeling like creating the thing and getting people to notice the thing have become two completely different jobs.

Maybe other artists, writers and makers understand this better than anyone.

I am not here because I want to become good at making people click.

What are YOU here for?

I’m so happy to share that my piece Ripple is part of Remember You Must Live: On Life, Loss, and Impermanence at Guilford Art Center.

There is something about that title that really stayed with me when I applied. Ripple feels like the right piece for a show like this...one about life, loss, impermanence, and the way moments keep moving outward long after they happen.

Swipe through for the piece, the face behind it, and the exhibition details.

The show runs October 9–30, 2026

Opening Reception
Saturday, October 10
from 2–4 PM

It’s FRER and open to the public and if you’re local, I’d love to see you there!!!

Guilford Art Center
411 Church Street, Guilford, CT

It feels really special to have Ripple included in this exhibition.

OK...I have a slightly unusual request. 😅

Before you throw away a LARGE or OVERSIZED canvas...give it to me.

Swipe through to see the transfoemation because every one of these paintings started as something else.

I love giving old things a new life...and I have officially run out of canvases.

I’m having major surgery on September 8 and will be recovering for about three months.

I won’t be able to work(or earn) and buying a bunch of giant canvases when I haven’t sold much recently just isn’t something I can justify right now.

But I also know myself. 😂 Three months of "taking it easy" will not go well unless I have a creative outlet.

So if you have a large or oversized canvas hiding in a basement, attic or garage...painted, ugly, half-finished, whatever...

I WANT IT!!!

The bigger, the better.

I can pick up locally in South Central CT through September 7.

And if you're not local but want to help, I have oversized canvases on an Amazon wishlist and a Venmo/Cash app to contribute toward supplies.

Links are in my bio, or DM me and I’ll send them to you.

No pressure.
Sharing , commenting and liking my work helps tooand costs nothing ❤️

But seriously...

go check your basement. 😂🎨

I have one addition in mind already...but now I’m wondering if one of you is going to give me a better idea. 👀
What are you adding?

This one feels a little different this week. 💔

Before I start painting...you get to add one thing in Miss Dolly's memory. What is it? Comment 👇

Man...I haven't been so shook by celebrity passing since Robin Williams.
She was truly one of a kind.
A beautiful person inside and out.
And I don't even listen to country music....but that was the power of Dolly Parton- no matter who you are, she had love for you and the world is definitely a little worse off without her in it.

We miss you so much... 😢
