Anne received her Bachelor of Fine Art from the College of Design at Iowa State University and spent 25 years as a graphic designer in corporations and nonprofit organizations.

She later found painting to be a therapeutic practice after recovering from a cancer illness. This gradually opened the door to an entirely new career. Today, Anne’s work focuses on observing the elements of nature combining the fundamentals of art with the intuitive response.

Anne’s work has been recognized nationally, featured in juried exhibitions at The National Arts Club in NYC and the Zho B Art Center in Chicago through the International Association of Pastel Societies (IAPS) and the Pastel Society of America (PSA). She teaches classes and workshops throughout the year. Anne recently has been featured in Pratique des Arts, American Art Collector, and has received honorable mention in Pastel Journal’s Pastel 100. Anne’s pastels have been featured in three Breeders’ Cup commemorative editions and Kentucky Homes & Gardens magazine. She has installations in public and private art collections including Buffalo Trace Distillery, The Kentucky Theatre, St. Joseph Hospital and University of Kentucky Medical Center. Her work has also been featured in movies for Lifetime and Independent films. She is a signature member of PSA, Great Lakes Pastel Society (GLPS) and is an IAPS Master Circle member.
