Annie paints with a highly developed technique, which allows her to express complex themes and subject matter of personal and cultural significance, often featuring text in combination with portraiture. Annie was born with down syndrome and an
intellectual disability. Born in Darwin, Annie grew up traveling between Milingimbi and Darwin and navigating two cultures.
Much of Annie’s artistic practice is related to her family and Country in Milingimbi.
Annie’s work probes the depths of existential experience relating to dreams, love, loss, family and Yolŋu culture.
