“Seagulls flying far away look graceful, almost like a painting, while flies buzzing around us feel irritating and overwhelming… if we could step far enough back from those flies, could they look beautiful too?”
Meet Annie 🎨
Our October People of CreativeMornings OC.
Since she was little she’s always been curious about how people think and see the world. Today, she continues to explore the same questions and observations about feelings, perspectives and the world around us, one doodle at a time.
This is her art journey ->
How does distance change our perception?
How much of what we find annoying or elegant depends on the distance between us?
Annie doodles a lot.
Like A LOT A LOT
Since focusing solely on her artistry in November of 2025, Annie has visited more than 40 cafes to doodle, participated in art markets, and taken on some really exciting commissions!
She started her cafe doodling series which was a way to bring her art into everyday space and connect with people through the things she loves. Drawing at Brio Brio Cafe | Sandos in OC, ocho coffee & patisserie, Tribute Coffee House and daydrift coffee.
Like many artists, there has been plenty of ups and downs. But for Annie, community has been a huge source of inspiration. ✨🥹
We love community over here!
Today, when she feels afraid of being judged or getting something wrong she shares that there are so many other people to meet, things to try and places where you might belong.
Thanks for being part of our CreativeMornings OC community Annie 💫 and thanks for sharing your artist journey with us!
Her work is available at oc.arthouse and you can follow along her doodle journey Dustycorn 🦄️
