Biography
Ann graduated from UNO in 1992 with a BFA with her thesis in painting. She is a lifelong artist whose work has been primarily focused on mediums of painting and drawing. More recently, however, she has been immersed in new tools of expression like ceramics and mixtures of non-traditional art materials such as cardboard, string, and hardware.
In addition to her extensive solo work in the studio, Ann enjoys collaborative projects with peers. She recently finished working on a large scale kinetic ceramic sculpture, teamed up with a local artist, which will be installed and viewed publicly in November.
When not making art, Ann enjoys sharing it in a teaching capacity with local youth. She has taught a variety of classes and workshops for kids both privately and in the Council Bluffs schools, and currently works as guest artist for an elementary school in Omaha.
Ann has shown her work in many galleries locally, including but not limited to 2 solo shows in 2019 at Lauritzen Gardens and Hillmer Gallery, 2 additional group shows in Omaha and 3 shows at Hoff Family Arts and Culture Center in Council Bluffs since 2020. She received a Relief Grant in 2020 from the Iowa Arts Council, and another project-driven grant through the American Rescue Fund and the Iowa Arts Council in 2021 which helped fund the aforementioned ceramic project.
She currently lives in an artist’s community with her daughter and their pup Uno in Council Bluffs.
