About the Author

Annie Poon is a multimedia artist from New Canaan, Connecticut. She is the middle child of a large Mormon family of eleven and has a twin sister. Annie's biggest artistic influence was her mother Barbara who would take her out of elementary school to explore the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Annie graduated from Highland Park High School and went on to earn a BFA in drawing and painting from the School of Visual Arts in New York. She has created over 30 short animations in addition to painting, prints, sculpture and music. Poon's work often addresses her childhood pastimes and mental illness- in particular her diagnosis of Schizoaffective disorder. Most recently, she has illustrated the entire New Testament chapter by chapter.
