Ann Ravenshield

I am the owner of The Art of Laughin Annie, which I started in February 2012 as an online initiative to sell my artworks, jewellery and clay creations mainly through my Etsy store and more recently from my website!</p><p>I returned to oil painting around 2021, initially took classes at VAS with various teachers, then started oil painting in my studio whilst exhibiting and continuing to sell my mixed media works both online and offline. 

It is fantastic for people to see my work in brick and mortar exhibitions. It makes me really happy for people to actually see my work up front. I am always working. Seven days a week. Way more than 9-5 daily. Making art is my full time occupation - or rather it is essential for me to create, so making art is really my way of life. It's not all about the sales.

To make life a little more challenging, I am living with two autoimmune conditions (psoraisis and Hashimoto's), the latter was full blown before it was correctly diagnosed last year. Getting back to my art and staying focussed on creating -  is what ultimately gave me the grit to pull through the significant challenges of 2022. I am grateful that 30 years of Reiki practice, with two Reiki Master accreditations under my belt also assisted me no end!

Focussed forward, I am enjoying my time working on the many creative projects I currently have in progress.
