Anne was born in Noranda, Quebec and raised in Sudbury, Ontario but she now considers herself a Western Canadian having moved to Calgary, Alberta in 1979.
Art has always been second nature to Anne. She won a city-wide award for a landscape painting at the age of twelve and sold her first painting in high school. |
Painting at The Galleria, Inglewood, Calgary

Drawing is an ongoing part of Anne’s approach to her art. She works at developing thumbnail sketches and value studies before she begins her paintings. Anne also finds it helpful to keep a journal of her sketches and thoughts as she plans her pieces.
Anne works in both acrylics and oils. She strives to achieve a sense of brilliance in her art by applying multiple layers of translucent paint and by paying close attention to colour and value options. Anne enjoys painting pieces that invite the viewer in to enjoy the scenery.
Anne continually works at improving her painting skills. She has taken classes in Landscape painting and Drawing at the Alberta College of Art and Design and she also enrolls in art workshops with professional artists on a regular basis.
Anne sells her art at several art events throughout the year. Anne's art is in private collections throughout Western Canada and other Canadian and international locations.
