About

Ann McRae was born and raised in Alabama. In 2006, as a 44-year-old single mother, she moved from Alabama to New York City with her two daughters. While she always made as much time as possible for her painting, it was when her youngest child went to college in 2016 that she devoted herself to art full-time.

Ann graduated from Parsons School of Design in New York with a BFA in Communication Design. She has studied at the Arts Students League in New York City, Manhattan Graphics Center in New York City, Silvermine School of Art in New Canaan, CT and Clay Art Center in Port Chester, NY.

In 2018 she moved from New York City to Greenwich, CT, and set up her studio in Stamford, CT at the Loft Artists Association.

Ann has had her work shown in Birmingham, AL, Brooklyn, NY, Jersey City, NJ, Greenwich, CT and Stamford, CT.
