Annie Tolliver began to paint under the influence of her father, Mose, and her pieces follow his style.  Because of demand for her father's work, for about five hears her paintings were signed by her father and sold as his.  In about 1990, with encouragement from collectors and from the Kentucky Festival of the Arts, Annie Tolliver first signed her own work.  As distinguished from her father, she generally paints with a harder edge and uses more colors on each piece in a generally brighter palette.

Annie Tolliver's work is included in the collections of the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Strombecker Corporation in Illinois and the House of Blues.  Born in 1950, she is one of the artists selected for the exhibition "Voices Rising: Alabama Women at the Millenium", organized to open in the summer of 2000 as the state showcase at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. that also toured throughout Alabama in late 2000 and 2001
