Anne says, “I am an experimental artist by nature. My interests, when it comes to creating are vast, but my favorite medium is watercolor. When clients request portraits, homescapes, or other custom art, I love interpreting their visions and requests. During the process of creating, I check in with my clients while I'm completing the artwork, but the final reveal is truly the most satisfying point. Their vision has come to life! As a child, I was often perusing a coffee table book by Robert Bateman that my parents always had out. I found his realistic woodland creatures inspiring and have always been amazed by his skill. Another inspiration for me was our family pets. We had Scottish Terriers and horses, and these were the first subjects that I learned to draw. I must’ve drawn hundreds of dogs and thousands of horses as a young girl.”
