Artist Profile: Annie O'Neill - whether in clay, grasping a paint brush or cutting metal for a sculpture, Annie O, leaves her mark!

Artist Annie O'Neill, Main St. in Gardiner, NY, with her artist painted door.While Annie was not born in Gardiner, she appears to know everyone, just ask around! 

As a member of the #GOSTartists she has proven over and over that she has the inside track around here. As an artist there is variety in her work, though her love of Mexican folk motifs appears no matter the medium she's working in. This folk art flavoring gives her painting and pottery a delightful playfulness that is the perfect antidote for people who feel intimidated by more formal styles of artistic expression.

Annie herself can also be vigorously irreverent which also serves her well in her work. If you see any of her #GOSTdoors you will recognize them right away.

Special Thanks to the Gardiner Gazette for permitting the printing of their articles for the #GOSTartists blog.
