Annie Mar

Genres: Cork | Illustrator | Irish Writing | Professional Development | Zine

Annie Mar is a Cork-based visual artist with a focus on painting, drawing, and animation. As a person of mixed heritage who grew up in Ireland, her work uses personal narrative, figuration, and colour to play out themes of identity and relationship; to ourselves, each other, and the land. Her work is sustained through visual diaries and zines, where she actively documents her processes through drawing and writing. Her arts practice is supported by a BA in History of Art and Philosophy (UCC) and diplomas in Textiles (Crawford Art College) and Illustration (Cork College of FET). Annie is a producer at Cork Zine Fest, annually creating space for the Irish DIY community in Cork City.

Annie’s participation in this year’s festival is supported by the Irish Writers’ Centre
