She was a print maker and painter, studying at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and the University of Idaho, while also working for the Appaloosa Horse Club in Mosco, before earning her MFA from the University of Washington. While raising a family with her husband, an artist and professional craftsman, Anne continued painting, including commissions for several public art murals, and held a number of jobs, including eight-years with The Weekly, an alternative newspaper serving Seattle. The family moved to North Carolina in 1998, and Anne taught art for 13 years in the local public schools, as she continued to paint, show and sell her work. Most recently, Anne taught art appreciation at Coastal Carolina in Jacksonville, NC. She retired in 2018. Survivors in addition to her immediate family include her daughter in law Hana Chmielewski, her sister Lindsay, brother Jonathan and twin brother Fred; five nieces and nephews; six grand-nieces and -nephews, and many beloved cousins.
