Ann was born in Lima, Ohio in 1956. That means, she's not a newbie artist by any means, but a woman who has found her truth and lives it to the fullest. Her artistic signature is creative experiential art that begs and answers many questions about human interaction and space.

You'll soon understand why this woman won (2007) the United States Artists Fellowship and many more prestigious awards and grants.

Congratulations, Ann!
