She earned a B.S. at the College of Mount Saint Vincent, concentrating in East Asian art history and studio art. She also studied Spanish, Japanese, and biology. After college, she taught for a year in Bogotá, Colombia, then apprenticed in wood-block print master Yoshida Toshi's studio in Nagano-ken, Japan. In Taipei, she taught English, studied Chinese, and spent afternoons sketching and befriending graduate students at the National Palace Museum. At a professional conference on Chinese art and archaeology, Anne determined that she would pursue graduate training in archaeology.
