Annika Connor is an Artist, SAGAFTRA Actor, and Screenwriter.
A modern-day Renaissance Woman, Annika Connor is primarily known for her watercolor and oil paintings though she also writes screenplays, sketch comedy, and acts in Film and TV. These seemingly disparate mediums, link in her imagination as one aspect of her Studio Life informs another.
Whether painting or writing, Connor’s art uses strong symbolism, passionate imagery, and humor to ignite the imagination.
When writing Connors pulls heavily from her dreams which often fuel her ideas. In screenwriting, she uses comedy, art, and real-world experience to question global issues and ethics, while exploring hot topics that unite humanity and/or divide us.
Connor’s life as a Painter is also a source of inspiration with some characters and situations inspired by her art world experiences.
As a multiple-disciplined artist, Annika likes to say that “some ideas need paint, while others demand screen time."
