About

Meet the Artist

Ann Bussey received her BFA from the University of Denver and began her career in marketing and advertising as a graphic artist when projects were still done at a drawing table. After working for companies in Denver, Miami and New York she went freelance.

A decade later...

Ann joined the National Society of Decorative Painters and continued her art education with artists from around the world at the NSDP annual conventions. She focused on honing her skills in acrylic painting for over 25 years, eventually falling into teaching art for grades K-12 in both the private and public sectors.

After retiring...

from teaching in 2021 she discovered she enjoyed the details attainable working with colored pencils, and combined her love of art with her love of nature. Inspired by the amazing intricacies of creation, Ann works primarily from her own photography and first hand nature observations; spending much time gardening and bird watching.

 

Today...

In 2024 Ann began selling her original art and fine art prints at local markets. To stay up to date on her recent projects and market schedules join her client list at the bottom of this page for a monthly newsletter.
