Ann Rinaldi-Feldman recently moved to Kennebunk from New Jersey. She started beading as a hobby 10 years ago. She is mostly self-taught. Over the years Ann attended many workshops to increase her expertise. Bead weaving and bead embroidery are among her accomplishments. She has taken classes with bead artists including Laura McCabe, Amy Katz and Peg Filmore.

Prior to moving to Kennebunk, Ann had a long and varied career in health care, including clinical nursing. She has a master’s degree in Health Care Law and Policy and until recently worked in risk management in a large hospital system in northern New Jersey. She is now happy to be living near and having fun with her 2 young granddaughters and spending more time beading.
