Annie Royer
Painter
Annie began her art studies when she was six, attending the adult classes of Gustav Likan at the Art School at Laguna Gloria in Austin, Texas. Mr. Likan’s daring work as a colorist influenced her greatly, and he mentored her until his death in 1998. Annie’s work also reflects the influence of traditional Japanese art and aesthetics which she encountered during an extended stay in Japan. Annie earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts from Austin College and three Master’s Degrees from Yale University: Religion and the Visual Arts, East Asian Studies, and the History of Art. She has taught studio art for 30 years, mentoring and preparing students for higher education and career opportunities in the visual arts. Annie volunteers as the Director of the Arts and Music Guild.
