To help you find some inspiration for this piece I did a little interview with Annie Young so we can learn more about her, her work and her inspiration.

When did you first start creating?

I was very young…I liked to do many things, cook, sew (I made many of my own clothes) collect odd things and make into jewelry or collection containers…I also would rake leaves into floor plans and showing my dad my master plans!

How did your creative process evolve through life?

As I grew brave the bigger the ideas and more costlier projects!

 

What inspires your work?

Nature, faith, interactions with others, memories…smells

 

How/When did you realize that your handicap wasn’t going to hold you back from creating beautiful works that inspire people?

It was about a year or so after I was getting used to my vision loss and my close friend helped me to find my way back to my studio.

How do you decide on your colors?

I have long conversations with those who are with me when picking out colors for the specific projects…sometimes it is pure luck (lol)

Do you have a favorite color to use?

It used to be orange, now I think I have been using a great deal of purple

 

Where can we go to see your work?

I exhibit a great deal in the MPLS area of MN.  I am a RAW artist and looking forward to showing my work thru out the major cities in the country.

 

Anything else you’d like to share:

It is my hope that my work directs others to walk into yes and experience the possibilities life offers…
