The result is an array of quilts that are as individual as the materials themselves, offering an experience akin to viewing abstract paintings.
Ann's background as a retired bilingual teacher with a Master's Degree in Spanish and her involvement with the University of California, Santa Cruz’s ballet folklorico group infuse her work with a deep appreciation for Mexican culture. Her latest minimalist assemblage or mixed media pieces further push the boundaries of traditional quilting, incorporating wallpaper, tiles, and found objects on wood, all while prioritizing the use of new, redirected materials.
Visitors and art enthusiasts alike praise Ann’s work as "dynamic," "stunning," and akin to "taking a vacation." Her ability to reinvent an old tradition into contemporary art is both inspiring and transformative.
