ANN BOURGEOIS

Art is the lens through which Bourgeois interacts with the world.​Art is a way of life, both professionally and personally. Bourgeois enhances commercial spaces as an art consultant, partnering with architects and designers, to serve their clients. When not procuring others' art she is applying herself to honing her own craft of painting.​

As a budding artist, Bourgeois was encouraged by her art teacher Rob WIlliams, a respected art consultant, museum curator and collector, to persevere in her appreciation of and practice of art. Following his advice, she took art classes and studied art history at Hollins University and UNC Chapel Hill. Following graduation, she studied painting with Elizabeth Ross, founder of the Art Department of Central Piedmont Community College, in addition to photography and studio jewelry. Print making classes at McColl Center began hand-printing process to enhance Bourgeois' painting. ​

Whether at home or travelling, art exhibits, markets and lectures dominate her time,  energy and constant passion.
