Born in Port Adelaide, Australia, she studied at the Adelaide School of Design under H P Gill. She was the wife of the Reverend Reginald Bryant. In the 1924 Show Day at St Ives she exhibited three large oil paintings from Lanhams Art Gallery and was well reviewed: 'the largest is a scene, trees yellowed by autumn, another is a pastoral scene of bringing the harvest home, while the third is a river scene, charming and quaint with white farm buildings among dense green trees.' (St Ives Times)

Annie was successful in exhibiting at the Paris Salon (10), and during the 1930s she offered summer sketching holidays based at her home at Clyst St Lawrence, Exeter.
