At 17, I began my artistic journey, selling my first original paintings. After high school, I founded my business, “Art by Annora Inc.,” and launched an e-commerce website to showcase my work. Through this process, I gained experience in business management, development, and local networking. Over the years, I’ve taught one on one art classes to people of all ages and have been commissioned for a wide range of personal and public artworks. My portfolio includes large murals—working off of scaffolding and lifts—book cover illustrations (rendered both digitally and than painted in oils), pet portraits, anniversary and wedding portraits, dreamscapes, architectural depictions, and landscapes. I’ve worked on large-scale surfaces, including both interior and exterior walls, as well as large canvases. My artistic practice spans a variety of mediums, from oil and acrylic paints to spray paint, graphite and charcoal pencils, and digital painting tools. I am skilled in using drawing tablets and proficient with Adobe software. Through networking, I’ve developed strong connections with local businesses, where I’ve had the opportunity to host solo exhibitions and perform live painting demonstrations for the public. I am currently working towards getting my real estate license and my future goal will be to acquire a degree in business management.
Currently, I’m a practicing electrician. However, in my early years, I specialized in large-scale mural projects. I’ve managed and/or completed both interior and exterior murals on various surfaces, including floors, walls, and ceilings. My skills include proficiency with scissor lifts, and I served as a heavy equipment instructor at Lowe's. Additionally, I have extensive experience in tile and mosaic installations, artistic drywall installations, Interior & exterior mood lighting, concrete staining and epoxy, as well as painting accent walls and faux finishes.
