About the Artist
Hi There! My name is Annette, I am a 25 year old artist based in Northern California and the voice behind all the works you can find on NettEuphoriaArt.
Growing up in a large family of 9, I was always drawn to the more creative world from as early as I can remember. Practically since kindergarten, I would carry sketchbooks and easels where ever I would go; be it to a family gathering, church, even to my friends sleepovers. I viewed art as a way to express myself in a way that words couldn’t. I would often imagine creating a secret world with my drawings that I could climb into and escape to. Even though I’m a more outgoing adult now, as a teenager I was quite the opposite; finding it hard to often put my opinions and views into words people could understand, all those emotions would find life inside my art.
Now, I am married to the most supportive husband and we have 3 beautiful children that definitely give us a run for our money; but the passion for art never once left my life. The joy of being a mom has snuck its way into my paintings and I love incorporating hints of motherhood into my art as little easter eggs for others to find. I hope that I will one day be able to pass down to my kids just how important it is to feed your creativity as an adult no matter what profession my kids might have in the future.
Balancing motherhood and painting may not be easy, but it makes the thrill of creating so much more enticing. My works may take a bit longer to create due to being a full time home maker as well as an artist, but it’s also because of this very reason my oil paintings are so detailed and curated. Beautiful things take time to come to life.
The Artist’s Statement
Being primarily an oil painter, I love creating works with a more muted color palette that your eyes can truly find rest in. In a world of overconsumption and over saturation, I strive to create artwork that you can find true peace in no matter the season or time. Using the craft of realism and a blend of whimsical; my oil paintings blur the lines between the real world and what we wish existed. Over my art journey I have painted mostly landscapes and wildlife but I am also dipping my toes into the world of portrait painting.
As an artist who also loves working directly with my clients, I love bringing your vision to life and painting a portal for you to truly teleport into. Fine art really is an investment and a commitment, so creating a custom piece that would hang in someone’s home for generations is something I truly strive to bring to reality.
