About Ann
Ann has always had an interest in art. From producing elaborate 4-H books in her rural youth to the dozens of doodles created alongside business meeting notes and the many visits to art galleries and museums during her world travels – art is in her heart. After a busy career in leadership and international development, Ann picked up a brush and canvas in 2017 at her home in Kitchener, ON Canada and hasn’t looked back since.
Painting mainly in acrylic and mixed media, her portfolio has focused on botanicals, still-life, pet portraits, landscapes and abstract art. Ann really enjoys painting florals with all their bold colours in contrast to soothing petal and leaf rhythms. Her recent still-life series focuses on bringing food to life on her easel, as she captures the various hues, shapes and textures.
Often seen painting at home in the window of her corner ArtNook Studio, she can always be found on social media @AlgArtNook. Ann is an artist at Le Galeriste, an online Canadian gallery, where her art is transformed into fashion and accessories for purchase.
As a member of the local artist community in Waterloo Region, Ann has participated in juried shows, local galleries and international competitions. She was proud to have received 2024 & 2023 Finalist Awards in the Flower Power International Juried Competition at Camelback Gallery and an Exhibition Winner at Artist Space Online Gallery Botanicals Art Exhibition.
