As the daughter of Alexander and Barbara Nasmyth, she was one of eleven children taught to draw and paint by her father, an engineer and successful artist. While her sisters were also notable painters, Anne was considered the "best painter in this talented family."

Although she was not as prolific in exhibiting her work as her sisters, her talent earned her recognition through exhibitions at several prestigious institutions, including:
