Hi, I'm Annette Haisma—a visual artist specializing in custom hand-painted canvases and digital prints that are as unique as the people who collect them. Art has always been more than a passion for me—it's a way of connecting, storytelling, and bringing meaningful ideas to life through color, texture, and expression.

My journey began in the most unexpected place: the margins of my schoolbooks. As a child, I found myself constantly doodling, sketching, and experimenting with whatever tools I had at hand. It wasn’t long before I realized that creating art brought me a kind of joy and focus that nothing else could match.

It was during high school, though, that my casual sketches turned into a true calling. Thanks to the encouragement of a dedicated art teacher who recognized my potential early on, I was inspired to see art not just as a hobby—but as a lifelong career. Their belief in me was a turning point, and it gave me the confidence to pursue my dreams.

I went on to study at Columbia College Chicago, where I honed my skills, explored new mediums, and developed my unique artistic voice. Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to creating original work that speaks to both the heart and the eye—whether it's a custom canvas tailored to a client's vision or a thoughtfully crafted digital print.

Every piece I create is made with care, intention, and a deep appreciation for the individuality of each client I work with. My goal is to make meaningful art accessible—art that not only complements your space but also tells your story.

Thank you for being here. Whether you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind painting or a bold digital print, I’m excited to collaborate and create something beautiful just for you.

Let’s bring your vision to life.

— Annette
