Ann Kimmich, Website
Always looking for ways to be more involved in her community, Ann has found that this sense of belonging makes Lancaster feel more like home. Having just moved here two years ago from San Diego with her husband, Andy and dog, Lucy, she's never had more fun being a member of local art groups in the City, starting up an Arts Ministry at her church, making it a regular occurence to go down and help rebuild the city of New Orleans with Habitat for Humanity, and now being a part of Woman to Woman this year. When she's not playing, Ann works hard at home helping local businesses with their art, design and web needs, and has an occasional show in the city to display her passion of painting.
