Ann’s artistic journey began with an ambitious challenge—a 9 ½-foot by 20-foot mural in her brewery’s taproom. Despite having no prior painting experience, she embraced the challenge, and from that moment, her passion for oil painting took root. Since then, her work has continued to evolve, bringing peaceful, immersive landscapes to life.
Drawing inspiration from her time hiking and exploring nature, Ann recreates the quiet magic of the outdoors, ensuring that her art resonates with people of all abilities. Her work invites viewers to step into serene landscapes, evoking a sense of calm and connection with the world around them.
