Ann Brodhead's awareness of her English ancestry contributes to her keen interest in colonial days. In her art, prints and posters, she portrays a simpler time by using imagery from nature, and enjoys experimenting and using a variety of fabrics for her canvas, especially those with a nostalgic or antique feel.
Her art, prints and posters have a serene and calming effect, the subtle blending of acrylics creating a look similar to watercolor.
She also "trims” her art, prints and posters with delicate borders that add a touch of charm and quaintness.
