About
Annie He (b. 2003) is a Chinese visual artist and illustrator based in Los Angeles. Her practice explores memory, cultural inheritance, and place, drawing from personal experience, nature, mythology, and architectural heritage. Working across painting, watercolor, textiles, and object-based forms, she creates layered, symbolic worlds that move between fine art and applied forms.
Annie earned her BFA in Illustration from ArtCenter College of Design. Her work has received international recognition through awards, exhibitions, and publications, with recent collaborations and commissions including the Gamble House Conservancy, TACORI, Momcozy, and AI+ Studio & Gallery.
