Anne's personal website: http://annejenkinsart.com

Anne, a British citizen born and raised in South Africa, also 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.

An award-winning self-taught artist, her acrylics and watercolors can be found in many private collections in Europe, Japan, South Africa, Canada, all over the United States. Among her corporate clients are Universal Studios, Hollywood, CA; Ritz-Carlton at Lake Oconee, GA.; Datacert Inc., Houston, Texas; TravelTalk Radio, San Diego, CA., and Entergy Power Company, New Orleans, Louisiana.

In August Anne was artist in residence at The LUNA in the San Luis Valley, CO. While there she studied monoprint making at the Ventero OPen Press studio - a whole new world!.

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 is simple:

To have fun and beat the starving artist rap.
