    Ann Dodys is an artist/art educator who was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia.  Design and use of color comes naturally to Ann given her background.  After earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Stratford College in Danville, Virginia, Ann began her art career in Jacksonville, Florida, creating interior and exterior wall designs for both commercial and residential spaces. 
    Ann has received recognition for her pottery through the Virginia craft guild as well as her painted birdhouses through Habitat for Humanity. After earning a teaching certificate from Georgia State University, Ann has taught visual art in high school, middle school and elementary school over the past twenty-five years. She recently earned a Masters in Art Education while continuing to produce unique and appealing works of art. 
     Ann has worked with a variety of media over the years but fell in love with pastels after participating in a workshop outside of Paris with Master Pastelist, Margaret Dyer. She exhibited her pastels at La Bonne Etoile, Fontaine-Fourches, France, 2014, 2016 and 2017.
