I have been knitting and crocheting since my grandmother taught me how, when I was around 7 years old. It has been a constant source of fun and relaxation for me ever since and I love being able to share it with people. And while this is a major part of my life, I am primarily a photographer. Below is the bio from my website, Ann Woodall Studios.

"Through photography, painting, collage and whatever else I can get my hands on, I aim to encourage curiosity, appreciation, respect and love for the quirky, and I think beautiful, aspects of our world which float around us every day all the time.

Whether it’s the patterns within a crumbling wall or the slump of a cowboy’s shoulders, I believe there is importance and beauty in the details that surround us. In slowing down and taking time to see, to enjoy and to appreciate detail, the world becomes (or remains) a new and exciting place all over again. A place well worth loving and protecting in every way we can.

It is my hope that the images I bring to the table help instill a more fervent desire to love and to protect our natural world as well as create more appreciation for the rough and tumble aspects of us humans; aspects that can be beautiful in their own colorful, wacky and original ways.

Thank you and have a wonderful day.
Ann
