After earning a B.A. in Journalism (2018) from Patrick Henry College in Virginia, Annabelle returned to her hometown of Oceanside, CA, to begin practicing stained glass in Don Myer’s studio. In 2024, she began apprenticing with Willet Studios in Winona, Minnesota, where she specialized in liturgical and architectural glazing. In 2025, she opened a private glass practice, Lighten Glass & Graphics, back in San Diego, focusing on residential glass commissions and print media. She also dabbles in watercolor, glass fusing, and writing. If she’s not in the studio, she’s out in the sun, the sea, or at home in the kitchen.
