Anne Britton, a native Texan, has been surrounded by the creative aspect of life from early on.  Her mother, an international abstract watercolorist, has played a large part in her desires to express herself through two and three dimensional art.  Many of her designs depict the abstract influence of her mother.

Having earned a degree in teaching from Sam Houston State University, Anne thought she was ready for teaching general education as her life’s career.  To her surprise, two years into teaching, she felt a strong pull to the visual arts and attended college once again to study design, drawing and pottery.

Combining her love of all things artistic and a passion for education, Anne found herself.  She taught art in different environments and then established an art studio for children, “Atelier,” in the summer of 2003.

Her first introduction to jewelry as an art form, was nine years ago, when a visiting jewelry designer performed a demonstration lesson for her class.  Inspired, Anne bought the equipment to make jewelry that afternoon and has been creating ever since.  In recent years, she has expanded into silversmith and lampworking, bringing a different look and feel to her pieces.  Anne’s creations have shown and or sold in galleries, stores and exhibitions in the states and the U.S. Virgin Islands.  She has also designed many commissioned pieces for private individuals.
