ANN OLSSON Ann Olsson tells us this about her life and career: "Growing up in the mostly rural suburbs of Buffalo, New York, I have always loved nature. I spent most of my free time tramping through the meadows and woods around my home. I was horse crazy and loved drawing them, but I never took any art classes beyond elementary school. I moved to Iowa after college and marriage. Until my retirement, I worked as a chemical engineer at John Deere. Within a month of retirement I took my first watercolor class with Esther Cheng in Cedar Falls, Iowa. I loved it and have never looked back. I continue with watercolor but have branched into pastels and Sumi E ink. I am lucky to be painting with the Thursday Painters, based at the Hearst Center for the Arts in Cedar Falls. We paint every Thursday morning. A smaller group meets every Tuesday, weather permitting, for a plein air session. We also travel to workshops together. I paint what I love: nature, landscapes, flowers, and sometimes animals. My goal is to make the viewer feel a part of the scene." |
