About Annie Sandano
Based between her studio with Tannery Arts in London and Auckland Annie is an award-winning artist who has exhibited extensively in New Zealand and abroad for over 13 years since graduating with Honours from Elam School of Fine Arts. Primarily driven by an interest in investigating the interaction between line, form and colour, Annie’s visual cues are broad: from painting to ceramics to printmaking, her practice encompasses all of these disciplines. Seeking to create images and objects which operate on a visceral level and incite an emotion which transports the viewer, she utilizes colour, texture and light in a unique and distinctive way. Over the years Annie has built a strong following and recognition for her collectable works coveted print series. Recent developments include and having works in the collection the Private Collection of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, being selected as a finalist in the 2019 Portage Ceramic Awards, and being selected as Finalist in the Waiheke Small Sculpture Award 2020.
