Ann McDowell has been a painter and photographer at the Torpedo Factory Art Center since l985, beginning as a founding member of Factory Photoworks Gallery (now Multiple Exposures). Since l993 she has been working and showing in Studio #17. She studied painting at VCU, The Virginia Museum, The Art League, Springmaid Beach Workshops and privately. She attended Bennington College. Her Fine Art Photography training was at the NOVA Alexandria campus, and the International Center for Photography, NYC, working especially in cyanotype and hand-colored infrared photography. "Whatever the medium, I'm drawn to the endless possibilities of materials, style, color and texture. Most recently I have been incorporating papers and found objects into my paintings."

McDowell has had four solo shows. Her painting and photography have appeared regularly in juried exhibitions -- gleaning many awards -- at The Art League, The Twentieth Century Gallery in Williamsburg, the Peninsula Gallery and group juried exhibits in several Washington, D.C. galleries. Her work appears in numerous corporate and private collections here and abroad.
