Join Ann in her Painting Trees with Confidence class!
Ann has spent most of her life painting in oils, both in studio and in the outdoors, en plein air. She has participated in and helped organize many plein air events throughout Canada during her career. Being primarily a landscape painter, Ann’s style of painting is very loose and impressionistic, characterized by thick oil paint, harmonious colour and visible brushstrokes. Most of her paintings depict the splendour of the natural landscape around us, from panoramic marshland vistas, larger than life florals, and portraits of distinctive and unique trees.
Her work is shown in galleries in Ontario, Alberta and B.C., and held in collections around the world. She is a Signature Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists,
Associate Member of the Oil Painters of America, and has won numerous awards in various FCA shows and Plein Air Festivals. Ann spends most of her time working and
teaching at her studio in Lake Country, B.C.
“Being outdoors painting en plein air has made my passion for painting grow exponentially – it is the ultimate experience - feeling the wind on your face, the warmth
of the sun, hearing the birds singing.- all of those sensations become a part of the painting. “
