Annie Martin is originally from Baton Rouge, Louisianna and has lived in California since 1979. She says of herself, “I like to have fun! I like to cook. I don’t get to see my family often, but I love to spend time with them.”
Annie began participating in the AWE class in 2024. “Art is a pleasure. I enjoy creating sceneries using bright colors and making a full picture. It feels good to make art and I always look forward to the day of the week for art class…I have learned that you have to be patient, think about colors you want to capture the scenery. Sometimes it’s hard, but in the end it’s so beautiful. I didn’t know that I could draw and color at all before art class and I look at my art and think, ‘wow, I did that?’ It’s an amazing feeling.
Annie’s words of wisdom: “Be patient, learn new things, help others if you can.”
