A number of her paintings have been reproduced as greetings cards and fine art prints and her pictures hang in collections in the UK, Europe and America. Ann was born in Coventry and grew up in the surrounding area of leafy Warwickshire. She attended Coventry College of Art, where she was taught by Terry Frost, gaining a degree in Fine Art, before going on to a postgraduate course at London University Institute of Education, followed by a successful teaching career. Ann exhibits at The Gallery, Dunchurch, near Rugby. She is a former chairman of the Association of Midland Artists, a founder member and former chairman of Rugby Artists Group, a member of Leamington Studio Artists, the Tantalus Project and Rugby and District Art Society. She also takes part in Warwickshire Arts Week. 'Art is a mysterious business. I try to look at the world through innocent eyes and paint from the heart, and I hope that people will approach my work with similarly open eyes and minds.' In 2009 Ann took a new direction in art and changed her name to Anna Phillips (see separate entry).
