The Tutor:
Ann Marie Whitton is an experienced printmaker who studied at The University of Hertfordshire, then taught adult evening classes at Sandringham School and Oaklands College. Ann Marie works from her garden studio based in St Albans, exhibits locally, and sells her work on line. Much of her print work is inspired by nature, landscape, still life, animals and people. She loves to print on a variety of different paper surfaces, her favourite being tissue paper.
