Ann Headley
           Abstract  Expressionist Paintings

Background

Ann was born in Dayton, Ohio. She was an artist as a child, receiving a scholarship to the Dayton Art Institute early on. Her childhood Saturday mornings were spent in art class. She frequently would pack up her paints and easel, and carry them to the local park to paint, selling her first painting at age 10. Deciding to go for a more practical career, Ann majored in Fashion Design at the University of Cincinnati, receiving a B.S. in Design. With a successful career as a Product Design Director, regular international business travel, and two sons to raise, painting fell by the wayside. Then, with the last son off to college, Ann set up a small easel in her laundry room, picked up a paint brush, and finally began painting again. In 2019 she retired from her day job to become an award-winning full-time artist.
