Annette Devitt was born and raised in a small town in Northwest Ohio. She is a long-time resident of Salem County, New Jersey where she spent 32 years as the County 4-H Agent with Rutgers Cooperative Extension. Now retired, she is focusing on creating art.

​

In one form or another, she has been involved in the arts in Salem County since moving to New Jersey in 1985. Annette's interest in fiber arts began with sewing as a child, but has expanded to knitting, spinning, and weaving as a member of the Third Star Fibre Artists Guild. She has participated in Oakwood Summer Theater in the past creating costumes and acting on stage, as well as, serving on the Board of Directors for 20 years. Watercolor classes with the late Alex Alampi, allowed her to tap into artistic skills that she hadn't used since high school art classes. Annette is a member of the Salem County Art League. She is also involved with Arts in Bloom, an annual studio tour in Salem County.

​

Her first love is fiber arts. As a weaver, spinner, and knitter, Annette is well aware of the interplay of colors in her fiber creations. This understanding of color has been an invaluable resource since starting to do watercolor painting in 2009. Annette also enjoys photography. Through her photography, she has gained a keen eye for composition. By combining her love for color and interesting compositions, Annette strives to create paintings that provide a unique snapshot of the world around us.
