Annie says, “Wow! 35 years. How did this happen? I am overjoyed! When we launched in 1990 there was always a grand plan, but the details fell into place one step at a time as we grew into the business we are now! I’ve had a huge amount of help, kindness and friendship from my community of stockists and painters all around the world who share my love for design, colour and decorative painting." I still have lots of plans and there are so many things in the pipeline I want to do so watch this space!"
