Annie was involved in the Utopia Women's Batik Group. Her work is represented in 'A Picture Story', a project initiated by CAAMA in the late 80's. Annie also began painting in the late 80's and has been involved in many group exhibitions, including the Robert Holmes à Court touring exhibition of silk batiks.
Annie is from a family of artists. Her mother, Molly Pwerle, sisters Jessie and Susan, and also her older brother, Sandy Hunter, are all renowned artists. All have a refined style. Often their whole painting will consist of patterns of individual fine dots, reflecting their story and Arawerre country. They also paint stories associated with Atnwengerrp and Irrweltye, their mother's country.
