Annette Sawers

Location: Canada

My name is Annette Sawers, and I am a full time artist and teacher. I was born in the UK, and moved to Canada in the 1980’s. In fact, I have lived longer in Canada than the UK, though my accent has remained, I am told very British. My main medium is acrylics and my subjects are what grab’s me at the time, this year I am working exclusively on abstract.
My education I received from Nevada and it is in art, art history and English Literature. I returned to painting and drawing after a long break and now have the incredible fortune of having my own studio. Visit my website at www.secretreddoorstudio.com to view more of my art to purchase or contact me.
Art enriches the soul and gives confidence and joy to all ages. There is no such thing as someone that cannot draw or paint, once the confidence is built there is another artist born.
