Annie Maria Reyes

Annie is an artist whose Cuban-Venezuelan blood pulses with an unrivaled passion for painting. As a child, she spent countless hours creating posters for the classrooms of the schools she attended. This love of creating later led her to study graphic design in Caracas, Venezuela.

Despite the difficulties faced by the vast majority of immigrants, after arriving in the United States in 1999, she never gave up her passion for art. In 2000, she studied “mural art” at Miami-Dade College. From 2001 to 2003, Annie devoted herself to painting commissioned murals, while continuing to work for many years in graphic design and marketing.

In 2020, during the COVID pandemic lockdown, Annie felt the need to paint again and began doing so on cheese boards she had at home. She was deeply touched by people's reactions and their big smiles, at a time when the world needed, more than ever, to be filled with joy. Since then, her creations have been shown at arts and crafts fairs in Miami and are commissioned from all across the United States.

Annie's vision has always been to create art that makes people smile and makes them happy to have it in their homes. Her creations reflect her desire to share her joy and passion for life with others, inspiring them to find their own source of happiness and creativity in the world around us.

In every piece she creates, Annie leaves a part of herself and her heart.
