Annie Sloan (born 19 June 1949) is a British artist, colour expert and author. After studying Fine Art at university in the 1970s,[1] Annie Sloan went on to write several books on traditional paints and decorative painting techniques, starting with The Complete Book of Decorative Paint Techniques in 1988.[2] She developed her own line of decorative paint "Chalk Paint" in 1990.[3]

Career

Following seven years of studying Fine Art in England, Annie Sloan turned her attention to decorative painting.[4] Her first book, The Complete Book of Decorative Paint Techniques, was co-authored with Kate Gwynn and published in 1988. The success of the book launched her career as a decorative paint expert and led to opportunities to teach decorative painting techniques internationally.[5]

Annie Sloan then went on to develop her own brand of paint "Chalk Paint" in 1990.[6] Initially the paint was manufactured in Belgium.[7]

She opened her first shop in Headington, Oxford, in 2000, a base from which she could sell her paint, as well as fabrics and ready-painted furniture.[8]

Her book "Colour Recipes for Painted Furniture and More" was published by CICO Books in 2013.[9] This was followed by "Room Recipes for Style and Colour" in 2014.[10]

In 2015, Annie Sloan introduced a second brand of paint, called "Wall Paint", in Europe.[11] Her business is based in Oxford, England, which she runs with her husband, David.[12]

In 2017, Annie Sloan entered into a partnership with Oxfam to create a new colour called Lem Lem, inspired by Oxfam's Ethiopian Seed Project.
