Artist’s Statement

Strangers are the most interesting people I will never know. I want that Terminator power, from the Arnold Schwarzeneggar movies—to look at someone and get a quick rundown of their issues. With instagram, I follow all these beautiful, stylish, interesting, and weird people but for the most part I don’t know anything about them, or who they really are.

I decided to create characters—personas—based on my expression and dress. Some days I look like an overworked alcoholic housewife, other days I look like that bitch who stole your best friend in high school.

Annie WoodruffAnnie Woodruff was born in Durham, North Carolina and raised in New Jersey. Medicated bipolar, four years sober, sometimes a bitch but tries hard not to be, didn’t go to college, nothing published, apathetic about life achievements.
