Ann Hoover
"I draw the human form in all of its beauty and complexity. I love bodies – how they move, how they change, what we express with them. I admire our differences and our similarities and continue to explore and express my appreciation. The more I draw and paint, the more I want to learn and the more I want to draw and paint. Crazy – and simple. Such a joy."
Anne graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto in 1985 with a diploma in Communication and Design, studied at the Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver, and continues to study with many independent artists. She has been drawing from life for over 45 years and has been teaching life drawing for more than fifteen years. Anne organizes two Open Studio Life Drawing sessions; teaches lifedrawing, portraiture classes; and continues to offer workshops on drawing, painting and portraiture.
