Anihail Álvarez is a young psychologist and artist born in Tamaulipas. Annie moved from the north to Guadalajara for reasons of violence in the city where she lived, this changed her ideas about art. Before the focus of her career was on exploring her inner world as a teenager, replaced this with ideas about transcending on the level of
economics. She currently works with acrylic on canvas and embroidery. Annie is very interested in creating a new product but cannot lose sight of the irony generated by the innovative art. She conveys the hope that she had generated by starting her career young and conveys disappointment at breaking old & paradigms as she was forced to start her career all over again. She uses this process to reflect your way of seeing things with designs cold and messages of economic reality such as “nothing is impossible, multitask” or “this box says nothing” with the title innovation desensitizes.

“In examining the finished product, I’m able to discover my deepest feelings and core self. If I focus on my inner self and push away judgment, I am happiest and most surprised by what I find.” – Emily Forbes
Vibrant use of color and movement are often the first things observed in the art of Emily Forbes. Self-taught, Emily began using art in adulthood as a means of therapy to cope with disability. They are always exploring new mediums and pushing their artistic boundaries, with a certain affinity for acrylics, alcohol ink, and mixed media. Their expressive, intuitive style takes influences from nature, modern life, and a healthy dose of curiosity.
