About

I'm Anne, the artist and designer behind Purple Pecan Creative Co. I paint original watercolor and gouache work from my studio in San Antonio, Texas — everything from fine art and surface pattern design to custom family crests, personalized invitations, and everyday stationery.

I've always had a creative side, but for years I purposefully quieted that voice — it felt "impractical" to chase art as the mother of young children. After a difficult stretch that included job loss, a death in the family, a life flight for one of my kids, and a geriatric pregnancy, I decided life is too short to keep that voice quiet any longer.

Now my work is inspired by my children, our family adventures, and the natural world around us here in Texas. I especially love collaborating with clients on custom pieces — crests, invitations, personalized gifts, and even mahjong tiles — and being part of their special moments. Most of my work is watercolor or gouache, though I have a soft spot for texture too. My hope is that each piece is timeless enough to become a family heirloom, but fresh enough to feel modern today.

I live in San Antonio with my family. Shop my watercolor art and stationery , browse the pattern library, or follow along on Instagram for a peek inside our everyday life.
