Ann's work over this period, from 1975 to present, includes drawings in diverse media and paintings in oils and acrylic, and water colors. Although her major love is landscapes, the human figure and still life are inspirational subjects as well. She has worked in art in her home in Sandwich, MA as well as Provincetown, Santa Fe, New Mexico, San Miguel D'AIIende, Mexico, Italy, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam and any location of inspiration, where she has produced a significant body of work. Her paintings and drawings exhibit a rare vitality and bold strength in drawing and use of color. Not an abstractionist, yet
the design, pattern, and her use of media imparts an abstract, virility to her work. Since her senior thesis, "Landscapes of the mind", she continued to pursue interest in external landscapes as a vehicle to express interior landscapes expressed in personal symbols. Recent works include drawings and paintings in graphite, acrylic and oil paintings and monotypes. Ann has continued to purse her work in external landscapes as a vehicle to express interior landscapes, in personal symbols. Her recent focus has been a series of Buddhist monks. A recent trip to Asia has clearly influenced her recent work in monotype as well.
