About Anne

My inspiration comes from nature – our landscape and all that grows within it – and my mediums have changed from acrylics to watercolors to colored pencil to pastel and printmaking and back to watercolor: who knows what will be next!

With my current loves of watercolor and printmaking, there is a lot of planning required. I like working in a methodical way, and I like the process of working gradually, in steps, toward a goal.

It means I don’t quite know what I will have when I am done, especially with the printmaking. There are so many variables (translation: so many things that can go wrong!) that it is always a bit of an adventure!

I display my linocuts and watercolors at the Foundry, our artist co-op in Chambersburg, PA. As Gallery Director for the Council for the Arts of Chambersburg from 1994 through 2019, I have been a long-time organizer, advocate and juror for non-profit arts organizations in south-central PA. My work is held in permanent collections throughout the area and has been accepted into juried exhibitions in Baltimore, Washington DC and New York City.
