About Ann
I was in a car accident September 19, 2001. The atrocities
to our wonderful
country had just happened.
My right hand was permanently injured in the accident. I'm right
handed... I was blessed with a gift: the ability to draw. I hadn't been
using that gift. Now, in an instant, I wasn't sure if I could ever be
able to draw again, or do the other thing I loved most: ride.
Months went by, with little improvement but I was told I needed to use
my hand. I was in constant pain and embarrassed to say, depressed
because
I had lost my job that I loved and done for 17 years and had no
idea what to do to support myself. Drawing had always been my passion,
lifting my spirit.
So I decided to try to draw again. I quickly
discovered that just the pressure of pencil to paper caused terrible
pain and...I could not do it!
I tried one last thing: I tried painting. I could dip my brush in paint
and water and lightly touch the paper. Most of my original paintings are
on huge pieces of paper.
I had to make the image larger because I had
much less control in my right hand and fine detailed work is hard for me
to do now.
I strive to put my adoration for God's magnificent animal on paper. My
wish would be for everyone to experience the wonder of horses.
