nn Light lived in New York City until she moved to Mexico with her husband in 1964. While traveling throughout Europe, Latin America and the Far East with her husband she studied the works of the old and new master artists. She attended the Art Students League in New York City and  workshops with Chip Chadburn, Ned Jacobs and others. The contrasting styles of Maestro Arturo Tamaya and Toby Joysmith, her teachers in Mexico, influenced her in the use of clear, bold colors in her oil paintings.

An accomplished portrait painter, her studies discover the individual's sense of life, unique personality and presence in her subjects. She particularly enjoys painting children.

Ann resides in Hilton Head Island and was the owner of the Moonshell Art Gallery for twenty years until she decided to work from home.

Her paintings reflect her love of travel and her unique perspective on the scenes that have attracted her.
