 Annie's current poetry project, The Museum of Unnatural Histories, considers how women experience embodiment when seen through filters of race, gender, and class. Her work also explores how traditional Dena’ina stories offer her speakers an alternate lens for experiencing the self while living in westernized communities. 

 Her essays examine topics like the relationship between the more-than-human world and genetics, gun ownership and myth of The Last Frontier, as well as Indigenous art and museum spaces. 

  Originally from Anchorage, Alaska, she now lives in Fairbanks with her family. Annie received her Bachelors of Fine Arts from the University of Fairbanks Alaska and her Masters of Fine Arts from Stonecoast, the University of Southern Maine's low-residency program.
