About Anne —

Dear Friends,

When did I fall in love with the world of Art? At 5. My mom enrolled me in ballet and my first dance recital included a squirrel tutu and ruby red lips. I really loved the lipstick. I stayed in Ballet through high school. But at the same time, I took art every year. I still have the native american design hooked rug wall hanging I made when I was a junior in high school. More than 40 years later, it’s still on my wall.

I got my undergraduate degree in Art History. I also took some art classes at the same time. Later, I went to Graduate School in Community Arts Management. I was fortunately given the opportunity to help artists show off their musical and artistic talents by coordinating many art festivals in North Carolina and in the in the Pacific Northwest.

Following my arts management career, I once again found my self in college to study architecture. I began “creating” as an architect. I received my masters in architecture and worked in the field for 13 years.

In 2000, I decided to take another turn around the arts field and studied photography. I became a professional photographer for 12 years.

In 2016, I fell in love with steel wire mesh. I now create steel wire mesh lighting and sculpture. In 2020, I decided to take classes in ceramics from an amazing ceramics mentor, Carol Gouthro - www.carolgouthro.com. I am now combining steel wire mesh and ceramics together.

Of course, I would not have been able to succeed if it had not been for my wonderful, crazy husband and talented, artistic child. I create my work in a little studio over looking a small lake outside of Seattle. I have a lovely garden and one nutty dog.

My handmade art is born spontaneously from my imagination. I am so lucky to be able to share the uniqueness of my art with you! I hope you can see that when you review my website. Please enjoy my wire mesh studio and ceramics. Come back whenever you need a little boost of creativity, passion and inspiration.

Enjoy!

Anne
