Anna started out as an oil painter, but the toxic fumes just proved too much and that was the end of painting! Raising kids and Border Collies became the focus. She was here at the WI Sheep and Wool Festival competing in the sheep herding part and sold a dog to a fiber artist, Gale.
Later, Gale taught her about felting and so when the discovery of ”painting” with wool was made, it soon turned into a passion! Now the kids are raised and the Art Shows, Workshops and Classes across the country have taken over.
Anna says, ”I never knew what it was to have a passion until this. I haven’t looked back since. Working with wool has been the most fulfilling creative experience for me, ever. There is something about the organic quality to the wool. It has texture, character and life. The things that can be done with it are endless.”
