ABOUT ann
I am an artist with a focus on watercolour. I live in Vancouver. As a child my parents always encouraged me in my art. I still recall as a child in grade one, depicting my impression of the pipe organ from a class trip to a cathedral. When my family lived in France in the 50's, I took lessons in oils from a French woman artist. I have lived in Ottawa, France, Camp Borden, Kingston, Toronto, Austin, Texas and Vancouver.
Since my retirement as a professor from the School of Nursing at UBC, I have had more time to pursue my art interests. I am enjoying the challenge immensely. My subject matter focuses on nature and representing the subject in expressive ways. Watercolour is an excellent medium for reflecting the wonders and mysteries of our world. It allows for the freedom of colours to mix and mingle to create wonderful scenarios that can be both exhilarating and relaxing.
I am a member of Artists in Our Midst, the Federation of Canadian Artists, The South Delta Artists Guild and the Vancouver Art Guild.
