BIO:
Anne, a British citizen born and raised in South Africa, lived in six European countries for 25 years and traveled the world extensively before settling in the United States. New Orleans was Anne’s beloved adopted city for a few glorious years until Hurricane Katrina.
Her work celebrates and champions women and good causes. She mostly paints large size acrylics impasto style with a palette knife - always full of vibrant color and movement, or soft watercolor sketches.
Previously she owned The Point of Art Gallery & Studio in Georgia.
An award-winning self-taught artist, her acrylics and watercolors can be found in many corporate and private collections in Europe, Japan, South Africa, Canada, all over the United States.
Among many other things Anne has been a reporter, photographer, banker, English teacher, housecleaner 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.
