I'm an ANNE-imator!
I decided to learn some new skills during this time of COVID…this is among my first crop of #anneimations! I call this Friday Flowers! Check out more on my YOUTUBE Channel.
My small screen mini doc debut with Touchvision...
Warning: You might need tissues (according to the folks on Facebook who watched it already). I am humbled and grateful to have had my work and message captured so beautifully by Enero J. Ray and Chad Fedler of Touchvision. This was edited down from a 40 minute interview with me as well as a visit from my client Claire and her pups Medi and Tula. We also took a field trip over to the new Urban Pooch Canine Training Center to get some footage of the new mural I designed. What a gift to have this tribute to my pups Izzy and Alice who were such an integral part of growing my art business and inspiring me to get involved with addressing the Homeless Pet situation so prevalent in our society.

I had a very quick, but lovely trip to the Northwest over the last week...sad and bad news when I arrived back in Chicago:
I would love some help finding copyright free music I can incorporate into my videos, feel free to share! As well as any editing tips you may have...this music didn't really fit, but was 'legal'.
Day 2 with the sketchbook video:
Monday...day two, experimenting with video capture! Sorry, I'm having trouble centering this, and clearly the video I took of actually writing that lovely quote by Tyler Knott Gregson didn't work out...foiled again!
I had the extraordinary experience of paddling on the lake without another soul in site, in the pouring rain. It was magical and a little crazy. Don’t worry, there was no lightening, Mom!
I rigged up this tripod (rock/candle/brick from my old house) for my phone/camera (which I took the photo with, so you can’t see it!) Unfortunately the 12 minutes of sketching I did were cropped too small. Trial by error…that’s my method!
Anne's Pet Portrait Debut on 190 North....Watch the Live Podcast!
Check out our fun feature from ABC Channel 7's 190 North Television Show! It turned out great thanks to the wonderful interviews with my customers and their pets (Cris & Kaaren & Tango and Sarah & Bear), and all the great folks and camera crew at 190 North, thank you Janet & Holly!! Sadly, Bear, the sweet Bernese Mountain Dog in the segment passed away a few weeks ago...so honored to have created his portrait and that he's also immortalized on film. He was beloved by everyone in the neighborhood.
Please contact me if you are ready to order a Pet Portrait!
The other wonderful part of this feature, it aired the night before my 44th birthday...a lovely gift!
