Annie Pang was born in Toronto, Ontario. She started life as an accomplished child violinist. Annie moved out to Nanaimo as a young adult and then to Victoria, where she was in the Victoria Symphony for 5 years. Due to illness, Annie suffered a premature loss of her 21 year violin career. She has re-invented herself several times, self-teaching as she went. As a miniature clay sculptor her miniature, “The Symphony”, was on display for 1 ½ years at the Royal Theatre.
Always a gardener, Annie grew, dried and created art as a dried flower artist. After another severe illness left her fighting to walk again, she became a prolific poet and wildlife photographer, combining these two loves to create exceptional “poetographs” for both educational and custom commissions.
In the last few years, she has grown to embrace the grounding and earthy feeling of working with wool to create her “Serenity” line of felt pots and bowls. “The tactile feeling of wool helps me stay in touch with my inner being and I enjoy my pots and bowls in every room. They are visually delightful and very useful tools in my spiritual growth and healing. Just holding one brings me back to myself, helping me smile or laugh or release inner tension.
I write my dreams and affirmations on bits of paper and pop them into a Dream Pot, releasing it to the Universe…”
