Bio:  In 1980, Anne was introduced to fiber art as a cosmetologist. Color was a natural interest to her along with various other forms of art. Ever since she can remember she has had the good fortune to be exposed to a variety of art mediums such as: water color, oil painting, clay sculpturing, drawing, lead glass, pottery, and quilting. Anne also attended The Society of Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan for 2 years.

In 2001, Anne expanded her creativity into rug hooking and all its elements of dying and designing became her passion. Since then, Anne has created 2 dye books Ewenique Dye Book I & II and in her dye books she includes 110 of her 1,000 plus dye formulas that she has created. Along with her Ewenique Dye Books she has hooked over 200 rugs. Anne enjoys a variety of different cut sizes, color schemes, and rug patterns. Her rugs vary from Orientals, Pictorials, Geometrics and Primitives. Anne has designed over 100 of her own patterns and has also been published 3 times in the Celebrations. She has even written an article that was published in Rug Hooking Magazine on how to hook large bed rugs. Also, in 2010 Anne’s 18th Century bed rug won the Sauder Award.

For the past several years, Anne has been teaching classes in her studio, along with teaching at various rug hooking camps, guilds, and groups. Her rugs are sold at the Galleria in Shipshewana, Indiana and the Waterford Foundation Folk Art Show in Virginia. From her salon to her kitchen stove with wool, coloring fiber has been Anne’s passion. As a teacher she has had the opportunity to expand her creativity and cherish her new friendships.
