ABOUT THE ARTIST: ANNE JENKINS

Anne now operates Anne Jenkins Art Gallery & Studio at 127 NE Front Street, Milford, DE 19963. Here she can be found painting in her new studio doing soft watercolor house portraits or painting acrylics on big canvas full of vibrant color and movement. Before this, Anne owned The Point of Art Gallery & Studio in Georgia, situated half-way between Atlanta and Augusta.
A self-taught artist, her acrylics and watercolors can be found in many private collections including the collections of Baron Michal Komers von Lindenbach and the Zatarain family and in also in Japan, Europe, Canada, all over the United States.

Anne completed a public arts project in May 2011 for the City of Union Point which was supported in part by the Georgia Council for the Arts (GCA) through the appropriations of the Georgia General Assembly. GCA also receives support from its partner agency, the National Endowment for the Arts.
In 2009 Anne was awarded an artist in residency at the Luna Studio’s in Colorado and
one of Anne's "Women of Courage" series was exhibited at the Museum of Contempory Art in Atlanta GA during the Pin Up Show 2009. In 2007 Anne was a guest speaker at the GA Governor's Tourism Conference.
Among many other things Anne has been a reporter, photographer, banker, English teacher, house cleaner and a truck driver. Her travel writing has been published in a variety of publications, including the Los Angeles Times and Opera Now.
She and her husband, Lee, also spent five years on a sailboat in the Mediterranean; many months in a VW van in Central America, Canada and Alaska; months touring Asia on a shoestring budget, plus a couple of crazy years driving a big rig around the Lower 48 and Canada.
Anne’s main interests are art, writing, music, travel and good food enjoyed with wine and friends.
Her mission statement simply put is: To have fun and beat the starving artist rap.
