Annie and her artwork have been featured in a Daily Universe front page article by Ee Chien Chua from March 20th, 2012. Annie's work is heavily praised in the article, such as in this excerpt:
J. Kirk Richards, a well-known name in Church art, said Annie has the ability to connect with people on a more inward and spiritual level. Her color choices and form, he said, are beautiful to many.
“People connect with the themes she chooses to address,” he said. “Themes like the spiritual nature of family relationships, heavenly beings and divine intervention, and stories of Jesus. Annie has a gift for combining beauty of form and idea.”
Richards said Annie has the potential of becoming a recognized artist for many Latter-day Saint families. “If she continues at the rate she’s going, over the next 50 years, she could leave a legacy comparable to [reknowned LDS artist] Minerva Teichert,” he said.
The author failed to include that Annie's years of painting have given her a slight edge at winning arm wrestling matches during Festivus.
