Ann has had a lifelong love of art and a strong creative instinct. As a young woman she collected art books, visited museums and dreamed of the day she would become an artist. However, since art was not considered a "serious" pursuit as she was growing up, she received a degree in nursing.

With frustration and after trying a number of various other careers, Ann turned to her first love. In 1982, she enrolled in art at Palm Beach College. She subsequently studied at The Lighthouse School, Sandhills College, Wayne Art Center, and Chester Springs Studios, which was affiliated with The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art.

Ann began her artistic career working in various water based media, but today she prefers the old masters traditional medium, oil. Her still life compositions frequently incorporate flowers, leaves and fruit. Ann says, "There are enough things in this world that are not beautiful. I don't want to bring anything negative to this life or our environment. My desire is to share beauty."
