Ann reveals, \u201cSince no one can visualize what I have experienced, I prefer to paint what I like, or what inspires me.<\/p>\n
I want to convey pain, sorrow, joy,\u00a0passion, and thoughtfulness on my canvas or paper. At the same time, my desire is to express love, beauty, and healing to my viewers as they \u201csee\u201d through the eyes of some of my works. It is my desire to celebrate the human spirit through my artworks as I have through my community service. I have always been committed to a vision of unity across age, race, and religious lines, so my work has been\u00a0created\u00a0to elevate the confidence, accomplishments, and leadership skills of youth and women especially.\u00a0I want people to know that I feel for them and that they are beautiful. For that reason, I paint from my heart and spirit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I have traveled\u00a0a\u00a0unique journey. For many years I was told that I would be a \u201cstarving artist\u201d if I pursued my art as a career, so I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree\u00a0cum laude\u00a0in Interior\u00a0Design from Ohio University and later spent most of my time in sales and community development work where I earned much recognition.\u00a0Fortunately, the few discouraging voices were not able to steal my vision, because the spirit within me never allowed me to abandon my art talent gift.\u00a0 I have developed a love for people of different cultures and for public relations, but ART has always called me home.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
