Instructor – Annie Farley

I have worked for Sundance for 5+ years. I teach Painting and Drawing, Soap Making and Journal Making. I have always loved drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. I have a BFA in Painting and Drawing from UVU. I love working in such a beautiful setting with amazing people. Much of my references for my work are shot at the resort. I try to showcase the beauty that is Sundance.
