Anne Hetrick-Dahm’s Solo Exhibition will be on display in the upstairs art gallery at Blossom Market Hall from October 1, 2024, through January 15, 2025.

Annie Hetrick-Dahm is a 30-year-old Los Angeles-based designer and artist whose work bridges the structured world of architecture and the fluid realm of painting. Working as an architectural designer by day offers her stability and precision; painting at night becomes her sanctuary, where emotions are free to roam and express themselves on canvas.

Annie’s work is infused with bold use of colors and a fascination with optical art, drawing viewers into a world where reality and imagination blend seamlessly. Inspired by surrealism, her work challenges perceptions and encourages viewers to look beyond the surface and engage with the underlying narrative as each piece serves as a window into the interplay between architecture, nature, and the human experience.

This collection aims to be a journey of the mind, capturing the complexity of emotions and the resilience found within vulnerability. Through her art, Annie examines the female experience with both strength and sensitivity, creating a dialogue between the built environment and the human condition. Her goal is to inspire introspection and provoke conversation, as she continues to seek opportunities to share her vision with a broader audience through exhibitions and residencies.
