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.

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.
