Giving voice to nature’s silent narratives, Artist Annie Lindberg explores visual storytelling as an imagined nomadic shapeshifter traversing the globe. She records journeys through time and space, portraying intimate histories and possible futures as an arctic tern, a whooping crane, or even a stone. Annie Lindberg is a self-taught visual artist living and working in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Often incorporating textile and sculptural elements, her work emphasizes the beauty of imperfection through hand-stitching, hand-lettering, and the juxtaposition of collage, paint and found objects. Expressing a rhythm between shape, contrast, color and metaphor, she creates a visual language of thresholds in the process of transformation. Annie's work has been included in exhibitions in the United States and internationally including Galerie Deborah Chock (Paris, France), San Francisco International Arts Festival (San Francisco, CA), MERZ Gallery (Sanguhar, Scotland), Ricciardi Gallery (Astoria, OR), Sunwest Gallery (Prescott, AZ), Center for Contemporary Art (Santa Fe, NM), and the Museum of New Mexico Foundation (Santa Fe, NM). Her art is in private collections in the United States and in Europe.
