Ann was born in St. Asaph, Flintshire and now lives above the Ogwen Valley, in Gerlan, near Bethesda, Gwynedd.

She graduated in 1988 from Exeter College of Art & Design with an Honours Degree in Graphic design, was drawn 'home' to Wales where she worked as a freelance designer and illustrator until 1995.

Ann is currently Managing/Creative Director of Welsh web design company WiSS.

Work in print includes illustrations for children's books, book cover design, editorial illustration, advertising campaigns and graphic work for a variety of clients and organisations across Wales and the UK.

Since being accepted as an associate member of the Royal Cambrian Academy in 1992 and becoming a full member the following year, her work as a painter and printmaker has taken precedence over illustration and design.

She was a member of the Conwy Print Workshop from 1993 until it closed in 1997. All her printmaking is now carried out in a small home-based studio in Gerlan.

Ann has exhibited in numerous group exhibitions, as well as solo and joint exhibitions in Liverpool, Manchester and Cardiff.

In 2005 Ann decided to take on the responsibility for setting-up a life-drawing group on behalf of the Royal Cambrian Academy. After running and co-ordinating the group for two years, Ann handed over to gallery staff who continue to organise a programme of classes on Wednesday evenings.

Ann has been a member of the RCA's council on three occassions, from 1994 to 1997, 1999 to 2002 (as secretary) and again from 2003 to 2006.

Her work can currently be seen at the Tegfryn Gallery, Menai Bridge, Anglesey and at the Royal Cambrian Academy in Conwy.
