In 2010 I had a solo show at Zocalo Coffee Shop. Owner, Tim Holmes, said to San Leandro Patch reporter, Lani Conway "Most people's work that we display is either dramatically great or dramatically not. Anne's work is great and has a ton of positive feedback. People are even taking pictures with it."  Some people even put two and two together and recognized me from my bio and approached me on those rare mornings when I work remotely from the leather chair in the corner of the coffee shop.

One day a woman approached me and told me how much she loved my work.  We spoke for some time and then she asked if she could bring me some objects that had been gathering dust in her garage and basement. Naturally, I was thrilled!

This butter churn was one of the many objects she gave me. It has been sitting on my fireplace mantel for the past 3 years. I have been contemplating this object for some time and wondering how I might use it in a sculpture. Only weeks ago, I acquired a large box of Playskool figures and the rest is history.  While very "ready made" in execution, this piece called "Corporate America" representing the churn rate of employees in Corporate America.

    About me...

    I work in the IT industry by day managing a team of software developers. I very much enjoy what I do. Technology changes as quickly as it gets boring so this career is suited perfectly for me.

    If I were to answer the question, "What would you do if you won the lottery?" My answer is not something I waver on. I would make my art (and go on object finding missions) all day long.

    I've changed careers. I moved from place to place. People have drifted in an out of my life. Art is my constant - like breathing really, but I don't really have the choice to not breathe! :)
