Photographer Ann Boese grew up surround by the corn and wheat fields, lakes and sky of western Minnesota. Frequently working in landscape, her work is rooted in the agricultural world. She is deeply aware of the land; what it produces, its seasonal cycles and how it sustains both our physical and emotional life.

After moving to Massachusetts, Ann began studying photography, first at the DeCordova Museum School in Lincoln and later at the Griffin Museum of Photography, Winchester. Ann has exhibited in solo and group, themed and juried shows through the Griffin Museum, the Arlington Center for the Arts, the Lexington Arts & Crafts Society, Lex Media - Community Media Center Gallery, and Cary Memorial Library. Ann is a member of the Griffin Museum of Photography and a past member of the Photography Guild at the Lexington Arts & Crafts Society. She has a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Boston University, with a background in child and adolescent resilience.
