Ann loves learning new art forms and methods, like how to create Natasha Beads in the art and craft of polymer clay, learned from generous artists like Jessama Tutorials on YouTube. She sells her art jewelry as Ann Taylor-Schmidt Artworks – aTs Jewelry at local fairs, boutiques, and trunk shows.
Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center, where Ann worked for part of her Penn State career, shelters and cares for non-releasable raptors, like this Great Horned Owl.
