Born in Colorado in the early 80’s, Annie Terrazzo surrounded herself with dreams. Her childhood was unorthodox and chaotic, having been raised by a mother who was a schizophrenic adult entertainer and a father who was a race car driver. This chaos was countered by a family who, through silversmithing and plein air painting, taught her the value of and method to making beauty in the world. She spent large portions of her time writing plays on an old typewriter, watching movies, and dreaming of Paris, activities that would influence her later work.

After graduating from the Academy of Art in San Francisco, CA, Terrazzo began her career in portraiture, focusing on using found objects, newspapers, and magazines. She strives to create work that allows the viewer to recognize image and text based language, drawing you in through the technical skill she possesses and the attention to detail that permeates all of her work.

Her latest endeavor DRUGSTORE LOVE is an invitational art project to be completed in 2033.
