Anna Maria Horner

Anna Maria Horner grew up in a house full of her dad’s paintings and with a closet full of her mom’s handiwork. Beds were warmed by the hand-loomed wool blankets sent by her grandmother from Greece. She and her siblings were warmed by the beautiful hand-knits sent from her grandmother in Indiana. Instead of buying new dresses for her Barbie, she created her own from the fabric scarps of her mother.

Anna Maria Horner and her family make their home on a rambling two acres in Nashville, Tennessee. She works from a lofty, attic studio filled with fabric, thread, drawings, scribbled schemes and the remnants of intermittent playtime with children. She is the mother of seven who range in age from 5 to 26. She is very thankful to be able to live out her dreams as an designer in the presence of her family. Anna Maria is inspired by the spontaneity and tempo of life.
