I’ve never met Ann in person, but after spending an hour chatting with her I wish we were next door neighbors so our husband’s could hang out and make fun of us while we charged our crystals together.
Check episode #17 of the Creative Queso Podcast.

Legendary Ladies and Bad Girls Throughout History are just as interesting to read as they are they are gorgeous to look at. Ann Shen is triple threat: she has a degree in writing, can paint a Goddess like nobodies business and knows how to manifest all the things.
Check out her impressive roster of books…
- Legendary Ladies: 50 Goddesses to Empower and Inspire You
- Bad Girls Throughout History: 100 Remarkable Women Who Changed the World
- How to Be Legendary: A Goddess Journal For Finding Your Power
Listen in to our conversation on the Creative Queso Podcast right here…
Such a fun conversation! Not just books, Ann has a ton of products on her website and via Chronicle books including…
- Bad Girls Throughout History Journal
- Art Prints
- Legendary Ladies Notecards
- Enamel Pins
- Bad Girls Throughout History Engagement Calendar
All this and she just finished an artists residency for Disney! Talk about living the illustrators dream life.

Ann Shen is an intelligent feminist and this comes through in her work and this interview. When she is not researching bad girls and ancient empowered women she has created work for companies like Evite, The New York Times, Facebook and a long list of others. Did she manifest all these things? You will have to listen in to find out.
In the meantime I highly suggest you follow her on all the places…
