Ann was born in Cumbria 1963. As a mature student she returned to study for a degree in Fine Art graduating with a First Class Honours degree in 2006.
Ann has participated in numerous exhibitions around the United Kingdom and Europe. In 2009 she featured on BBC 2’s Culture Show and has been selected for the Royal Academy’s summer exhibition for four consecutive years
Ann creates a personal and intimate experience by collaging ink drawings, original book inscriptions and found ephemera into her work. They are richly layered and often incorporate complex and challenging scenes which are nostalgic yet sometimes edgy and playful. She has established a reputation for creating work which challenges our expectations. The use of old books and beeswax creates a visually nostalgic experience and the unpredictability of working with the beeswax in the final stages adds a sense of serendipity.
Ann lives in Buckinghamshire with her 2 Dachshunds, Poppy and Mika and her husband Mike.
