Anne began working as a painter, illustrator, and fabric artist in 1987. Since then, her art has been featured on greeting cards and in books, magazines, and worship-service programs. Her paintings have been displayed at the Biblical Arts Center in Dallas, Regent's College in Vancouver, Boston Center for the Arts, the Premier Gallery in Minneapolis, and in numerous church and seminary galleries.

Artist's Statement Initially, I painted with acrylics on canvas and then switched to acrylic fabric paints on muslin. Today, my art is primarily on muslin, as well as on canvas and wood. My work, which is multicultural, spiritually centered, and social-action oriented, tells the stories of people-individuals, families, whole communities at work and play. In The Housewarming, a family has just moved in to an affordable home and invited friends and neighbors to celebrate. Several years ago, my sons and I arrived in Minneapolis with nothing but a few suitcases. Eventually, we acquired a house and built a life here. This painting expresses my gratitude to family and friends who believed in and encouraged our efforts to start over and move ahead.
