Hey there!
I’m Annie Reyes, and I’m thrilled you’re here.
If you’re seeking a way to unwind, ease stress, or relieve anxiety or pain through coloring, you’re in the right place. I’ve personally faced overwhelming anxiety and stress, and I rely on prayer and coloring books to navigate my health challenges and post-COVID recovery.
My coloring books are more than just designs; they’re crafted with a deeper purpose: to uplift you, alleviate stress, and remind you of your incredible worth. They feature my cute “Nenas” or cute illustrations. Some include motivational quotes and biblical inspiration designed to motivate and encourage you.
I believe in the transformative power of coloring and the uplifting joy of encouragement.
Here are a few principles I hold dear:
• Taking time for yourself and embracing “me-time” is essential.
• Embracing creativity fuels growth and self-expression.
• Rediscover the joy of childhood.
• Everyone deserves support and inner peace.
• Never doubt your creative potential.
• Coloring is about your unique expression; there are no rules.
My Path
Annie Reyes has dedicated her life to the transformative power of art. Her passion began in childhood when she painted school bulletin boards and attended her mother’s art classes. After earning a degree in graphic design in Venezuela, she moved to Miami, where she explored mural art at Miami-Dade College in 2002. During this time, she painted commissioned murals while establishing a marketing business specializing in branding and promotions.
Although her focus shifted toward technology and a full-time role with a local nonprofit organization, Annie’s creative drive remained a guiding force. The challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 led her to prayer and a renewed connection with her artistic roots. She transformed everyday objects into over 500 commissioned artworks during this period, bringing many joy and solace during global uncertainty. This pivotal experience rekindled her passion and set her on a new creative path.
By 2023, Annie embraced digital tools like Procreate to create intricate illustrations, embarking on a mission to share the therapeutic benefits of art through adult coloring books. To date, she has published 12 coloring books on major online platforms like Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Her work reflects a deep commitment to well-being and creativity, blending traditional artistry with innovative techniques.
In 2024, Annie achieved significant milestones, earning her Art Therapy Certification to further her mission of promoting relaxation and mental health through art. She was also recognized as the Best Coloring Book Author in Florida by Best of Best Review, received the prestigious Global Recognition Award for Artistic Excellence and Community Impact, and was nominated for the Extraordinary Latinas Awards by United Latinas in the Connecting Communities category.
As she continues to expand her impact, Annie plans to release her 13th adult coloring book at the end of 2024. She will also be featured in Extraordinary Latinas, Volume IV, which launches in early 2025. This celebrated series highlights the journeys of influential Latinas across diverse fields, celebrating resilience, success, and self-discovery. Annie’s journey exemplifies how creativity can inspire, heal, and connect people across communities.
