I am Anna Maecie, a self-taught artist whose work celebrates color, storytelling, and the beauty found in everyday life. Through bold shapes, playful patterns, and a folk-inspired visual language, I create work that invites viewers to slow down, look closer, and find meaning in the details.

My artistic practice is deeply inspired by connection—to people, places, history, and the stories we leave behind. I am drawn to creating work that feels both nostalgic and contemporary, combining whimsical imagery with symbols and patterns that encourage personal interpretation.

Creating work for Dundee is especially meaningful because of the opportunity to contribute to the visual story of a place shaped by agriculture, hospitality, creativity, and community. I believe public art has the ability to transform familiar spaces into moments of discovery—to give people something to recognize, remember, and carry with them.

Through my work, I hope to create moments of joy and curiosity while honoring the character and spirit of the communities that inspire. 

My lifelong passion for music, dance, and art has always been deeply woven into who I am, with an artistic lineage that has been passed down through my father’s side of the family. Although I did not attend a traditional “art college,” I nurtured my abilities through art classes, starting in high school, and while attending community college. My great-grandmother and grandmother were both portrait artists. My Aunt Virginia Paquette, a well-established Abstract artist from Seattle, and her sister Carolyn Paquette, who carried the portrait artistry, were both profound influences on my creative journey. My art experienced a rapid evolution in 2019, when my Aunt Virginia passed away from liver cancer. Amidst the grief, I felt an even deeper connection to the lessons, creativity, and wisdom she had shared with me. Her passing felt like a metaphorical passing of the torch—a moment when I recognized that the artistic spirit carried through our family was now, in part, mine to carry forward. Their collective influence continues to shape my work, my creative voice, and my commitment to honoring the legacy of the artists who came before me.

To paraphrase Remington: “My strength is not in academic polish but an instinctive grasp of movement light and character.”

Drawing from a vibrant palette of Acrylic and or oil, on mostly, large-scale canvases.  Capturing the essence of animals, flowers, and the human form, creating  mostly figurative or Impressionism work, but not excluding abstract.. Not limited to one style or subject— My art is rooted in color, emotion, and imagination. While I’m always evolving and refining my technique, I refuse to be put in a box. Creativity, for me, is about freedom—freedom to experiment, to feel, and to express without limits.

Art has always been part of my life. Watching my grandfather draw cowboys and bucking broncos when I was a kid inspired me to draw for myself. Characters from the pages of my comic books were my first subjects.  I was learning line drawing and basic anatomy, and even though I wasn't good at first, I was having fun!  With time, my drawings got better. I began to see things differently and understand size, proportion, and form. I learned the importance of value (the range of light and dark shades), texture, edge quality, detail, and composition. Soon my journey grew to include painting.  I learned techniques in charcoal, pastels, acrylics and oils. Every new project was an opportunity to grow.

Learning to see is an ongoing process, which began in my childhood, continues now, and hopefully never ends. Each day as I paint, I see the world around me as a treasure-trove of inspiration. I am excited to see what discoveries await me as I continue this life-long journey of art.

“Kali Jane” is the name I would have given my daughter if I had had one, but the Universe had other plans and sent me 3 sons instead. It’s a name full of polarity. “Kali” after the Hindu goddess who is stated to destroy evil in order to defend the innocent, and “Jane” meaning full of grace.

A reflection of the dual self. The dark and light. Polarities merged together to create something new. In lieu of birthing another child with this name, I birthed a business to explore and share a creative lifestyle.

My current expression of abstract art is through acrylic paints, and oil pastels on canvas, paper and wood. You can find my work across the United States, Canada and across the ocean in England.

I adore playing with texture and exploring the curious nature of chaos and the way it can make sense and settle things inside of you when viewing it through eyes of joy and adventure.
