Anne was brought up in Argentina and worked there as a bilingual secretary before travelling and settling in the Scottish Highlands in 1965. Twenty years later Anne discovered batik at a Highland Council craft workshop for youth club leaders and then attended a series of batik courses on cotton, silk and paper at West Dean College in Sussex. To start with, she worked at home and found she could sell her batiks at craft fairs and local shops. After a year or two she started running batik courses at schools and local halls and in 1995 moved into a studio at Ariundle Centre, Strontian, where she continued to teach batik and develop her own work. Now retired, Anne has gone back to producing batiks at home and exhibits her work locally. Most of Anne’s batiks are inspired by the Highland landscape, especially the coastline and distant views of islands. Her work is in private collections in the U.S.A., Germany, Australia, The Netherlands, Argentina and the U.K.
