Ann received her MFA in painting from the University of Pennsylvania in 1987. Her undergraduate work was a double major in art and biology from the University of Delaware.

Once an abstract painter focused on universal geometric patterns binding nature and man, more recently Ann’s work has moved to incorporate animal imagery.  It is an urgent response to the depletion of species and habitats locally and worldwide.  The paintings are prayers to protect, honor, and preserve our natural world.
