Anne-Marit has dedicated her life to the arts: as a performer, and artist, and as a community volunteer. She has degrees in music from Stephens College in Missouri and the University of Minnesota. She did graduate work at Columbia University in New York, Aspen Music School in Colorado, and the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria. In 1957, as Miss North Dakota, she represented her state in the Miss Universe Pageant. During her performing career, she played lead summer stock roles on the East Coast Straw Hat Circuit and presented numerous solo recitals. The years following, she enjoyed deeply rewarding experiences as a stay at home mom, raising a son and a daughter. Now she devotes herself professionally to the easel, her great inspirations being her time of study with Oscar Kokoschka in Salzburg and her family.

Of all her endeavors, Anne-Marit says she has enjoyed working with young people most of all.. be it as a teacher, parent, or, grandparent. She and Bill, her husband, love to learn from young people... of all ages.
