My name is Annique, and my brand name is ANNIQUEARLEAN. I'm a young African American artist who works with various art mediums, such as painting, sketching, and designing clothes, shoes, portraits, and other art materials. I also attended school for psychology and art to become an art therapist and contribute to art and mental health awareness in the world.

Creating is the only time I’m completely mindful—without thought. I do not usually paint with an end expectation in mind. I create for the love of it or an expression for whatever I am feeling. I’ve been featured in many solo and group gallery showings. I live at the Harvester Artist Lofts in Council Bluffs, IA. I have loved every time I have competed in Art Battle. I have felt loved and supported by the Council Bluffs and Omaha art scene. I love to body paint, work with mixed media, and acrylics. I work PRN in a nursing home in activities and I love extending my creativity to my residents and their home.

I loved drawing ever since i was a little kid. Each day i would find a piece of paper and just doodle anything that cane to mind. As i kept drawing over the years, i have saw the progression i was making and it motivated me to continue to do more.

Full time, self taught, multi media artist that packs color, texture, stories & energy into every creation!

I've been drawing and painting in my free time for most of my life. I worked at a sign shop for most of my young adult life wearing every hat imaginable. Today I'm a software developer who still draws and paints whenever he can.
