I am a New York-based artist.  The city is my muse.  I am excited and fascinated by it, always taking note of the light, the architecture, and the energy on the street.  I draw and paint from life and from my sketches. I was born in NYC, grew up in Maryland, Vermont, and Illinois and moved to NYC after graduate school.   I live in Morningside Heights with my husband and two children. In December 2020, I launched my business annemade to sell cards, coasters, and prints based on my art of New York City. I sell my products on Etsy (you can view my Etsy shop here) and in person at the GrandBazaarNYC several times a year. You can see my latest art on Instagram at @annemadenyc and on Facebook at @annemadenyc.
