My name is Anne-Marie Howard and I am an Australian artist. I have been teaching and making all forms of art now for 20 years, from studio arts, painting, sculpture, textiles and wood work. However, I have fallen in love with artist bears. These bears offer such a variety of ideas, inspiration and creation that it is very hard to resist. I enjoy the freedom that artist bears gives me, that desire to create special souls that inspire others to love.

I recently attended the Woodend show in Melbourne and it was a roaring success. Everyone was really happy with the quality and range of the exhibitors at the show. Thanks goes to the the organiser Kerri from Kerri's Bundle of Bears and I look forward to next year. Most of my bears were adopted at the show however please don't be disheartened if you missed out. I will be placing some more babies on my site after xmas. I look forward to hearing from you.
