About the Artist

Annie Chu

Annie is a self-taught visual artist, with a focus on hand-illustrations using acrylic gouache and other paint mediums. She currently works from her studio in Toronto, Canada, but also draws inspiration from and creates from her other homes on Vancouver Island, and occasionally, Taipei, Taiwan.

Annie has always been a self-proclaimed artist, but the first iterations of Chu on This Studio started while she was in law school, finding a few precious weekend mornings to sit at an easel with a podcast and a few cups of coffee in between reading about tort law. The greeting cards were her first foray into creating products (driven by having a hard time finding cards she actually wanted to send to friends and family).

During the Pandemic, she found herself with true time to create, and launched Chu on This Studio with full gusto. Today, you can find Chu on This Studio products in retail stores and at events across Canada, and commissioned artwork in many loving homes.

Outside of the studio, you can also find Annie running the people-side experience at her law firm as the Director of Client and Lawyer Happiness, as well as eating and travelling through culinary travel brand, Chu on This.
