She has spent thirty years living in Provence, France, where she enjoys a gentler way of life. Her artwork reflects this art de vivre, emphasizing the importance of living fully in the moment. Ann's painting takes its inspiration from nature which is an unlimited source, giving the viewer another perspective towards chosen surroundings, playing with light and contrasting both shade and brightness to create an illusion of depth.
Yoga and meditation have always been a constant element throughout Ann's life, combined with her interest in the philosophy and guidance found within spiritual practice.
