My name is Annie Parkes and I am a self-taught gouache painter and beaded-jewelry maker from Toronto in Canada I left my 9-5 earlier this year to pursue art full-time and have been enjoying every minute! I handpaint original floral gouache paintings which come paired with songs for an immersive and emotional experience, and to express each painting's mood. The originals are then printed and packaged by myself in studio. I also enjoy making 70’s-inspired beaded flower jewelry as well which are made stretchy and fun!
