It Begins Painting

Hi. I’m a Hollywood, California native, lifelong actress, writer, creator. I’m the daughter of a quirky, fiercely unique Israeli mother and a kind, funny, intelligent playwright father. After the passing of my adored mom a few years ago, I suddenly threw myself into creating visual art as if dancing in a blast of colors would somehow raise the dead. (It hasn’t. But I’ll keep you posted.) I create because I’m compelled to. I create because it’s fun. Simply put, it makes me happy. Art can be serious, intense and dark - and I dig all of that. But I also think art can be funny, playful and kooky. I hope my work brings a joyful smile to your beautiful face. My mom always used to tell me before she’d hang up the phone, Be happy. Enjoy your life. And so I am. anniewood.com twitter @anniewood ig @anniewoodworld
