Annika is a Toronto-based artist and educator, specializing in ceramics. Her interest in clay began while she was completing her Bachelor of Material Art and Design at the Ontario College of Art and Design University.

She began working as a ceramic class assistant for adults and children in 2015 and now teaches classes Downtown Toronto and Mississauga and recently joined the faculty at Haliburton School of Art and Design. She has been selected as a live demonstrator at the Gardiner Museum in Toronto for special events such as the opening reception for their new lobby studio, and segments on CTV and other morning news channels. In 2018 she participated in an invitational month-long artist residency in Kecskemet, Hungary, culminating in a group show. The residency was supported by a grant from the Ontario Arts Council. Annika was commissioned to create a range of over 100 ceramic pieces for the renovation of the Park Hyatt Hotel in Yorkville, Toronto, that re-opened in September 2021.

Annika was drawn to clay for the tangible nature of hand building and wheel throwing, enjoying the process and the different stages clay goes through from start to finish. She continues to be intrigued by the endless possibilities and challenges offered by the medium. Her production line of wheel-thrown pottery can be found in several gallery shops in downtown Toronto and Ottawa, and her commissioned work can be found in restaurants and hotels locally and internationally.
