"Good paintings tell stories. Because I am lucky enough to split my time between the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii and the shores of "Downeast" Maine I am inspired by the people and environment of two beautiful story-filled places". ![]() Ann
is a
'plein air' painter and also spends time in the studio. She
enjoys commission work also.
Ann holds a BFA from the University of Denver and has studied art at the University of Copenhagen and the Rhode Island School of Design. She shows her work in Hawaii, Maine and California. Landscapes,
seascapes,
skyscapes
and portraiture hold her interest. In addition, she
doesn't shy away
from
using her work to bring a political message.
Oil
is
her
favorite medium, but she also uses
acrylic and mixed media,
such as oil mixed with textiles and pastels. Her latest work can
be found in
the "Hawaii" Series and in the "New Works" gallery.
