As a teen she dabbled in watercolor and admired her aunt's oil paintings. While completing her Bachelor's degree in 2005 she studied the Reggio Emilia approach where children focus on different medias to explore the world around them. Her documentation of the study was done in photographs and text and is displayed at Empire College in Rochester. Anne facilitates a Reggio inspired art studio at Annie's Ark Child Care Center. She exposes children to drawing from life, clay sculpture, painting and collage representation.

Anne has always had a camera in her hands documenting family gatherings and the children at her child care center. She recently started using a digital camera on her fourth trip to Ireland. Her fascination with Ireland began in 1999 and she says, "I take the photos to savor because I miss it so much when I am not there." She and her husband have explored the Antrim Coast, Connemara, the Burren, and the Donegal North West coast. Her next venture is to go to Italy to see the Reggio Schools first hand and, of course, snap many photos of the Italian countryside.

Anne is a member of the Genesee Valley Council for the Arts and will be exhibiting in the GVAC mini gallery August thru November of 2008. Her work will also be on display at Bodhi's Restaurant in March-April 2008 and the Joy Gallery, Genesee Street (both in Rochester, New York).
