Ann Kipling was born in Victoria, B.C. in
1934. Her unique use of line in drawing has gained her much recognition
over the years. From her earliest recollections, she loved to observe
the environment and of course, draw. Ann has always had a passion for
animals and as a youngster often sought out horses to draw at the Oak
Bay stables hear her home. Her mother and father were teachers and
encouraged her to pursue her abilities to the fullest. Ann graduated
from the Vancouver School of Art in 1960 and moved to Lynn Valley where
she began her serious explorations of the landscape. She has worked as
an artist ever since and now lives in Falkland, B.C. Her work can be
found in numerous public and private collections across Canada including
the National Gallery of Canada, The Vancouver Art Gallery and the
Artists For Kids Gallery.
