nursing.

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

don't want to bring anything negative to this life or our environment.
My desire is to share beauty."
