Annieo Klaas’s artwork is a visual exploration of beauty in the seemingly mundane, celebrating the transient and often unnoticed wonders of life. From the iridescent rainbows in an oily puddle to the unexpected textures of mold growing on cement, Klaas's paintings reveal a new perspective on the familiar.
Notable exhibitions include Government Plaza Gallery: A CELEBRATION, Juried by the Mobile Museum of Art, in Mobile, AL, and “Made in Alabama” Alabama Visual Artists Network Invitational Exhibition, at the Samford Art Gallery in Birmingham, AL, both in 2024. She also showcased a solo exhibition, "When the Sky Looks In", curated by Lucy Gafford for the Mobile Arts Council in 2024.
Originally from Dakar, Senegal, Annieo earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Seattle, Washington, where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Cornish College of the Arts in 2015. Her artistic journey has taken her from Seattle to Mobile, AL, where she is currently based.
