Ann continually refines her
creative senses by merging
color, line, figure and often
integrates special materials
to generate powerful
artistic statements. With no
distinct subject matter or
destination, the intrinsic
meanings of the images
have the ability to alter and
adapt to the unique psyche
of the viewer; thus creating
a very personal and
intimate liaison.

tones with a diverse array of

Saturated with creativity and
radiating with emotion, these

She has been painting
since the first class she
took at age 10. "It's
something I always
wanted to do." She
dabbled in artwork, but
never was able to pursue
it full time. After moving
to Maryland's Western
Shore of the Chesapeake
Bay in 1995, she was able
to seriously start pursuing
her dream in creating her
art.
