Ann Barlow
Ann has always loved colour, shape and movement. Being a florist inspired her to move on to other mediums, such as wood, clay and natural materials, her main love being pencil and paper. Her characters came before any word was written, having had a father who was born a storyteller. Ann feels his gift has been passed on. Having never liked writing, and being dyslexic didn’t help, but a computer could.
Learning to type was a challenge. It took Ann a week to master touch typing. No matter how difficult things are, never give up. Ann didn’t.
