Meet Annie Kyla Bennett.👋🏽
Annie is a painter and mixed media artist whose work draws from botany, mutualism, and restorative justice— with a particular focus on the potency and character of medicinal plants. Their current studio practice centers on remediation: developing artwork that explores ways to heal and rebalance humanity’s relationship with the Earth. Part art-making space, part greenhouse, part laboratory, Annie’s studio reflects their background in chemistry and a deep obsession with plants — currently channeled into botanical ink-making and other natural art materials.
Annie teaches, and shares studio space with Art Garden Artists Jack Henry, Dillon Endico, and Trish Salmon, around the corner from Art Garden Gallery, in the studios at 25 Carolina Lane.
Fun fact: Annie grew up in rural Alaska, loves pollinators, and collects tools and seeds.

“Weaving tales and archetypes of cultures past and present with hopes for the future, my art chart maps for reconnection with Nature and Compassion: maps to a sustainable way forward.” — Annie
