Artist’s bio

As an artist, I transform ordinary materials into visual narratives that spark wonder and connection. Rooted in creativity and personal experience, my work blends vibrant compositions with a modern edge, inviting viewers to find the magic in their own stories.

Ann grew up immersed in art and music, encouraged by supportive parents. She trained at the Willoughby School of Fine Art and the Cincinnati Art Academy, later continuing her studies in Southern California at Citrus College, San Diego State University, and Platt College. Her career in graphic design, marketing, and merchandising enriched her artistic voice.

After years in professional fields, Ann returned to painting with renewed passion, channeling her experiences into bold, expressive work. Inspired by travel and the beauty of everyday life, she creates pieces that are deeply personal yet universally resonant. Her goal is to enchant collectors and open doors to stories of beauty, discovery, and connection.
