Annie Edney
Fire Artist / Fire Drawings (Albury, NSW)

Annie works in a number of artforms, noticeably shadow puppetry and lantern making, as well as being highly skilled at project development, workshop facilitation and artistic direction.

As an artist Annie's favourite artform is fire art, and she makes giant fire drawings ranging up to 15 metres long and 3 metres high, depending upon the requirements.

Following an eclectic career that has encompassed fashion, rock 'n' roll, opera, radio broadcasting and parenting, Annie has concentrated for the last ten years on community celebration with a focus on the environment.

Rolling together all the aforementioned skills, Annie puts together large-scale outdoor community spectaculars. She has worked on several community events, including the Fire Event at the Woodford Folk Festival and Murray Arts Organisation on the Enchanted River, an outdoor festival with an environmental theme. Her experience both as an administrator and as an artist requires intensive multi-skilling, and she is now highly regarded as a fire artist, lantern maker, shadow puppeteer, mask maker, giant sculpture image maker, costumer designer, painter and writer.

Annie and her daughter Freyja moved to Albury in 2001 to become part of the amazing Flying Fruit Fly Circus community.
