About Ann Gadd

 
 
  • Biography
    I've has been an artist since the day I first scrawled colorful crayon images across my bedroom wall. (An event my parents found to be less auspicious.) Since then I've gone on to sell over 5 500 original paintings to collectors as far flung as Vietnam and the Cayman Islands. Art is my purpose in life. It's what gets me up in the morning. Get's me through an enjoyable (mostly) day, and it fills my dreams at night. I live with my artist husband, so together we eat, sleep and breathe in the very essence of art. I suspect, that like Matisse when in his infirmary, when in my dotage, I'll also be lying in bed creating images on the wall.
