Ann enjoys the immediacy, the vibrant colors and the
versatility of the medium. However, it is the portability and convenience
of pastels that has kept her working with this medium for the past fifteen
years.
In the spring, summer and fall months you can find her and her box of
pastels in the fields along the Brandywine River painting en plein air.
"There is nothing like painting outside in the open! I know it
sounds trite, but the feeling you get when the sun warms your face,
a breeze rustles the grasses, and when you paint a landscape that you
just hiked through is amazing. These feelings and the memories of each
particular day become a part of the painting."
In the winter months, Ann paints from her own photographs at the Heron
Crest Studios in Aston, PA.
Ann has been a docent at the Philadelphia Museum of Art for the past
twelve years where she provides tours of the museum's collections to
the general public, school children and touch tours to people with visual
disabilities.
Her work can be viewed at the Longwood Art Gallery
in Kennett Square, PA, the Station Gallery in Greenville, DE
and the Tyme Gallery in Havertown, PA.
