Hello! My name is Audrey De La Cruz, and I am the artist and illustrator behind Annotated Audrey Art. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, I moved to Tucson, Arizona in 2016 to pursue a full-time career as an artist. In my first year living in Tucson, I fell in love with its lush desert landscapes, strange creatures, and unique plant life. Unsurprisingly, my new surroundings quickly made their way into my art. Common themes in my work include desert scenes and cactus, as well as, female characters surrounded by desert flora. My trademark style combines rich colors, black outlines and bold patterns, which I often create using a variety of mediums and techniques ranging from ink and colored pencil to watercolor and acrylic paint. I absolutely love testing new pens and art supplies and creating fun videos to share my creative endeavors with the world.
