About the Artist
Annie Wellborn (1927-2010), Georgia Folk-Outsider artist, is best known for her Red Ball paintings.(The skies of her paintings often contain a red ball or fireball, a vision she supposedly had many times. She believed that her ability to see these red balls was inherited . She spent most all of her life in rural Oglethorpe County, Georgia. One of eleven children, she grew up working on the family farm.
She is also known for her memory paintings and angel paintings, that she called her spiritual release . She retrieved a pool of religious and sentimental memories. She preferred acrylic paint which she applied to almost any surface imaginable. She said that she was called to paint years ago in a vision. Her paintings, bright with vivid designs, are very lively. She also created handwritten and illustrated memory books.
Annie passed away on April 23, 2010 at her home in Statham, GA.
