Ann Mclaren studied figurative sculpture at the Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver, B.C. Early in her career as a founding owner of Third Dimension Studio, Ann specialized in making life-like recreations for international museums such as the Florida Museum of Natural History, the DNA Learning Center, Cold Springs New York, and Nasa's Space Center in Houston, Texas, USA. Her work spanned constructing various dinosaurs and early hominids based on skeletal evidence to creating sculptural representations of well-known astronauts.
Ann went on to work as a special make-up effects artist for 16 years in a host of A-list feature films and television productions where she helped create memorable characters such as X-Men's Mystique. Working with Gordon Smith and his crew at FXSmith Studio in Toronto, Ann helped pioneer silicone filled prosthetics, which has since gone on to revolutionize silicone technology in the entire effects industry. The FXSmith team has been nominated for an Emmy Award, Artist Guild Award, Saturn Award and Gemini Award among others. A complete list of Ann's filmography can be found on the International Movie Data Base (IMBD).
Ann has taught sculpting to visual effects students at the Art Institute of Vancouver and sculpting and make-up effects techniques at the Vancouver Film School. She pursued her interest in Basic and Advanced Forensic Facial 3D Reconstruction and studied under legendary forensic reconstruction artist Betty Pat Gatliff. Ann also trained under internationally renowned forensic illustrator, author and sculptor Karen T. Taylor, advancing her skills in Comprehensive Composite Drawing, Advanced Two Dimensional Identification Techniques and Two Dimensional Facial Reconstruction. Ann employed these skills in creating age reconstruction portraits for local Police in their missing persons department. Ann's sculptural work can be seen in our nation's capitol where she worked as part of Jack Harmen's team responsible for the Peace Keepers Monument and the equestrian statue of Queen Elizabeth on Parliament Hill. Ann is a recipient of the Canada Council Arts Award.
While visiting an anaplastology clinic in the USA, Ann found her passion in anaplastology. There she learned to make custom breast prosthetics and later volunteered her skills back home in Vancouver at the BC Cancer Society's Wig and Breast Prosthetic Bank.
In 2014 she joined the Craniofacial Prosthetic Unit at Sunnybrook Health and Science Centre. Ann finds the field incredibly rewarding, being able to take her experiences and lifelong art practice and apply them practically in a way that makes people's day -today lives better.
Ann was the recipient of the 2021 Carter Wosk Applied Art and Award Design of Distinction.
