Ann Cory's art is full of children at the beach, children being children wherever they may be, flowers, landscapes, and birds.

 | | Children - at the beach or wherever they are (doing what children do best i.e. being themselves), make wonderful subjects. |
 | | I love the challenge of capturing a day, a feeling, a special time in a painting. I think that (good) art is like a poem - it condenses important things into heart language. |
 | | Some people have asked me to do their special children. I prefer to take my own photos - but sometimes this is not possible. |
 | | I enjoy people. I love a lot of them and appreciate their relationships. So far the ones I've painted have inspired me for important reasons and always for the good. |
 | | Birds are a delight. The represent both freedom (as they fly) and everyday cares (as they industriously seek their dinners). I enjoy watching and painting them. |
 | | I am a gardener of sorts. There is nothing more beautiful than a bouquet - the fruit of sunlit, love and care ! |

Also during these years, Ann was an active member of a family painting "club" (known as the "Grunt and Groan Club") - which included her famous grandmother and other talented family members.
Ann Cory married Jack Dorsey , a fine art painter known in the Northwest particularly for his watercolors and has learned informally from him through the years.
When her family was young, Ann Cory explored the world of professional art and had some success with her watercolors in local shows, winning a cash award in the Edmonds Arts Festival.
However as her family expanded, her art... |
