Anne DeMaria lives in Dover, New Hampshire with her husband and two cats. She started woodcut carving after selling her welding shop and found woodworking to be much more dangerous. After spending much of the first six months going to the local urgent care to get stitches she began to find some success and now has a library of several hundred woodcut carvings. Anne worked in the marine industry for 39 years on ships of all types and retired this spring.
