Born in Baltimore, Ann received her art training at the Maryland Institute of Art, where she won a traveling scholarship in 1940, part of which included study at the Pennsylvania Academy of fine Arts. She returned for her post graduate work at the Maryland Institute under Jacques Maroger, becoming his technical assistant and also teaching her own classes in drawing, still-life and portrait painting. In 1959, she resigned and co-founded the Schuler School of Fine Arts in order to follow M. Maroger's desire to continue the study and teaching of his mediums. Ann is a well known portrait painter whose works are prominently displayed in many colleges, hospitals, and other public and private collections throughout the nation. Her portraits, still-life paintings, drawings, murals, can be seen in the Governor's Mansion in Annapolis, Maryland, the Reserve Officer's Memorial, Foxhall Galleries, and the Women's Museum in the nations' capital. She is the fourth generation of artists in the Didusch family.
