moment of total relaxation whilst visiting  Portugal
.
Anne's design skills and flair coupled with a great sense of humility and concern for others,  enhanced through her
generosity of time and effort has earned her the gratitude of her many clients worldwide

Anne and her husband, Ray came to the USA in 2001 with a dream. A self taught  professional artist for  30 years her
extensive previous experience in Europe firstly as a ceramic figurine painter, then as senior sculptor for  an
international figurine company now stands her in good stead. During that phase of her career she undertook several
specialized projects including origination work for Walt Disney, Schmidt and Enesco.  Anne also completed a number of
realistic portrait sculptures. Her 9 foot high figure of the Lord Mayor of London was a central feature at the annual Lord
Mayor’s Procession. Leaving the relative security of the corporate world in 1993 Anne  created a successful gallery, mail
order and wholesale business based on her original ceramic sculptures. Anne also  during this time started visiting the
USA to exhibit and sell her extraordinary equine artwork.

Community and charitable orientated work both in Europe and North America have always been an important part of
their life thus enabling them to give back to the less fortunate.  

Rotary International with its Polio Plus campaign to eradicate that disease from the planet was one of her earliest
collaborations.  

Anne with her great love of animals gave support to the Guide Dogs for the Blind Organization.

Salem’s Children’s Home, OR, USA with its innovative equine-based program was a willing partner to her endeavors to
improve the lot of deprived inner -city children.

Calvert Trust Riding for the Disabled of which HRH Princess Anne still is and the late King Hussein of Jordan was a
patron gained a large financial bequest ($750,000.00)through Anne generously donating a sculpture to their cause.

Latterly Anne  contributed to the Phoenix Boys choir in Scottsdale,Arizona.
Numerous magazine and newspaper features to her credit plus several television appearances in Europe and the USA
