Annie Dunn

Location: Booth 907

Contemporary artist ANNIE DUNN uses digital painting to take thought provoking jabs at reality and mortality. Her offbeat style most closely resembles American magic realism crossed with Dia de los Muertos and a copy of the Sunday funnies. A special affinity for cats is also evident. The end result is humor laced artwork that often harbors a deeper interpretation.

Favoring the anthropomorphic juxtaposition made so popular by Gary Larson, combined with the very human monsters of Charles Addams, Annie’s work is populated by mostly likable albeit sometimes macabre characters who are way too busy doing their own thing to worry about what’s normal or expected. Many of the artwork titles pull double duty as cartoon captions.

Although a self-described recluse, Annie has exhibited throughout the Southwestern United States at art shows, comic conventions, and book festivals. In between these public sightings, she is rumored to live with her husband and a clowder of cats in the suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona.
