About the Artist:
Ann Elizabeth Thiermann, MFA, is inspired by living, hiking and painting in beautiful Santa Cruz County. Her creativity is fueled by her artistic family, Sylvie, the studio cat, her folk dancing friends, and teaching and leading art trips abroad. In addition to painting landscapes and murals, daily joy comes from swimming, camping and visiting the farmer’s market and working in her garden. Movement in her art is reinforced by her time playing organ, piano and harpsichord as a church musician.
