 Tokyo-born
Ann Kullberg brings a sensitivity to colored pencil artistry
that goes back to her childhood. Raised
in Japan by Lutheran missionary parents, she experimented
with watercolors and pastels at a young age, but didn’t
devote herself to art until 1987. A
self-taught artist and former school teacher, Ann began
receiving recognition for her portraiture in galleries
throughout the Pacific Northwest. Her
work has been selected for national greeting cards, and
has won numerous exhibition awards. Ann
has served as juror for art competitions and she conducts
colored pencil workshops internationally. Author
of "Colored Pencil Portraits Step by Step" and "Capturing
Soft Realism in Colored Pencil", she also teaches through
her online monthly magazine, From My Perspective,
and through her line of colored pencil instruction kits,
both available at http://www.annkullberg.com
