Agile Initiatives

 
 

Authentic, empowering, down-to-earth, compassionate, creative coach with over 20 years’ experience coaching creatives, particularly on authenticity and creative process. Intuitive, collaborative, awareness building coaching style. As an ICF (Int. Coaching Fed.) certified professional coach I partner with folks in a thought-provoking creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Specific experience includes identifying mindsets, creativity, process, authenticity, getting unstuck, career coaching, professional development, leadership growth, and team (band) building/ dynamics. I’m currently focusing on building resilience by incorporating rest and creativity more deeply in my life and setting myself and others up for success.

Hand poured soy candles, air fresheners, customized gift baskets, gift items like white chocolate jewelry boxes and suckers, as well as commissioned artwork

Artist since childhood, expertise in realistic portrait drawings and found-object art, compared to that of Folk Artist Bessie Harvey. Having a connection with nature, especially trees; Holloway grew up in rural Tennessee in the 60’s using driftwood, roots, dried flowers, tree bark, seeds and even moss, creating art and re-defining an object’s character. This botanical relationship guided her away from racism and prejudice. The purpose of each work is that God will be looked upon and felt. The natural details influenced her to express encouragement using various mediums like pencil, crayons, ink, paint, and pastels with the found gems.

Alcohol Ink on metal paintings

I create vivid colorful translucent alcohol ink paintings through the application of alcohol ink to aluminum, steel, titanium, copper, and brass sheets. Prior to applying the alcohol ink, texture is added to metal with grinding tools, or a torch is applied to the copper to produce vibrant intricate colors or an "aged" blue green patina is created by chemically treating the copper with salt and ammonia.

Beautiful Interior and Exterior Spaces

I'm Annie B., a former HGTV manager and full-service designer in East Tennessee. I'm passionate about designing spaces that capture the personality and lifestyle of my clients, so they can dwell in places that inspire them to live beautifully. I take the guesswork out of redesigns so clients can avoid the costly mistakes and headaches of doing it themselves and increase the value of their property. I study their story, style and needs to help them make thoughtful design decisions and visualize their finished product. A home should be designed to fit the dweller's lifestyle –– not the other way around.
