Anne grew up in southern New Hampshire and currently lives in Norway, Maine. She took classes in drawing and painting as a child, and after moving to Maine in 1994, she continued to explore the world of art. In workshops and classes, Anne learned several techniques and media, including watercolor, acrylic, pastels, mask-making, clay and more.
Anne signed up for her first encaustic workshop at the Maine College of Art in Portland in 2015. This ancient art medium ignited a new creative passion within her. She broadened her skills by taking more workshops with encaustic artists in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and Santa Fe, New Mexico. She also attended the Maine Coast Encaustic Workshop Retreat in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 2015, 2017 and 2018.
During the winter of 2021, Anne took an online course where she learned the technique called “Cyanotype Alternative Photography”. She combined this new technique with her encaustic skills and enjoys making cyanotype prints throughout the year with foliage from her own yard and surrounding area.
Anne continues to explore new ideas and ways of working with encaustic wax to keep her art fresh and contemporary.
