Artist Profile Raised in the suburbs of McLean, Virginia, Anne maintained close ties with her family in Belgium. She was inspired by the work of her grandmother, whose impressionist style resonated with Anne at a young age. After completing her business major from Georgetown University, Anne earned her master’s degree from Pratt Institute. Anne's recent fascination with cityscapes stems from her experience in graphic design, and the influence of her friend and mentor, Gary Godbee. Anne’s work has been displayed in a variety of venues, most recently the Montclair Art Museum and the Phillips Lighting Corporation in Somerset, NJ. Her charity work includes “Horse Play in the Hills” for Gary’s Wine and Cheese Shop, which earned $3,000 for the Cancer Hope Network in Bernardsville, NJ. Anne has lived with her husband and children in northern New Jersey for the last fifteen years.
