Ann Marie Vaughn has found joy in sharing her art with others all her life. 

Her first major recognition occurred as a high school student when her drawing of a "Back Stage Scene" was selected to represent American art at the World's Fair in Brussels, Belgium.  Now you may view her award-winning paintings and prints in homes, galleries, and corporations throughout the United States and Europe.

Ann’s versatility enables her to accept commissions to paint any subject requested.  From life or on location, realistic impressionism is her favorite style in painting flowers, figures, and landscapes. As a portraitist, she is known for her ability to capture a fresh likeness while developing a fine art composition. She travels extensively and has discovered interesting people and motifs to paint in Austria, Greece, Turkey, Morocco, Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean, Canada, Great Britain, France, Ireland, Italy, and the United States.  She works in oil, watercolor, pastel, charcoal, and mixed media.

She holds a B.A. in art from Regis College, Weston, Massachusetts, and a Master of Arts from Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Institute of Art.  In 1989 she was certified as a Visual Art Specialist.  Most of her teaching has been in high school, community college, and private classes. 

Ann is a former member of the American Watercolor Association as well as the Virginia Watercolor Society. Her work is displayed in collections in US, Europe, Canada and Central and South America
