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.
Anne now owns "The Point of Art Gallery and Studio" at 604 Sibley Ave., Union Point, Georgia - telephone (706) 486-6808. It is situated half-way between Atlanta and Augusta near I-20. Here she can be found painting in her large studio doing anything from soft watercolor house portraits, funky folk art on 1895 tin roof tiles or painting acrylics on big canvas full of vibrant color and movement.
A self-taught artist, her acrylics and watercolors can be found in many private collections in Europe, Japan, Canada, and all over the United States. Her corporate clients include Universal Studios, Hollywood, CA: Datacert, Inc., Houston, TX; and Entergy Power Company, New Orleans, LA.
Among many other things Anne has been a reporter, photographer, banker, English teacher and eighteen wheeler 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; ten months in VW camper in Central America, Canada and Alaska; many months touring Asia and South Africa on a shoestring budget; plus a couple of crazy years driving eighteen wheelers 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.
