Annie Parkes is a self-taught gouache painter and artist based out of Toronto, Ontario.

She has been practicing and self-studying art since a young age and continues to pursue her passion for painting & fine artistry.

“Painting has given me a great sense of peace,
and allows me to see the world with a calm, and inspired mind.”

Many of Annie’s artworks are focused on flowers and dreamy floral gardenscapes, which are harmonized with music to express emotion and invite viewers into her world for a spiritual and immersive experience.

“I enjoy the use of music and song lyrics that I connect with to help create a mood for my artwork, in hopes of conveying those same feelings and emotions within the viewer that I myself have experienced.”

Paintings are authentically paired with songs based on the artist’s feeling at the time of painting and are intentioned to bring an immersive experience to the viewer.

“All of our lives are different, what connects us and makes us human is that we all experience love, romance, pain, sadness, anger, and happiness. They are motivators which assist us in our artistic processes.

When we feel these emotions, we can be at our most vulnerable and our most creative.
The truest forms of ourselves.”
