Ana was raised in the Seattle area of Washington State, U.S.A.
She soon discovered the ability to render at a very young age.
By pulling images from her mind, she was able to recreate the
scenery through paints, pencil, ink or back then, crayons.
Throughout Ana’s adulthood, she tried
to search out various ways of expression, enrolling in classes
ranging from still life to life drawing, and experimenting with
the use of mediums from charcoal to sculpture to music. In 1999
she released her original music CD called Xhale, collaborating
with producer and musician, Steve Sherman.
Ana's studio and office is located in Markham,
north of Toronto, Ontario in Canada. Here she rediscovers the
freedom and the transcending power of art. “I usually
start a new piece by ‘pushing paint’. The outcome
is often a surprise, even to me. I believe no one chooses to
be an artist, it is a gift given to you by a higher power.”
Ana is one of the 25 selected Canadian artists
who voyaged to paint Greenland and the High Arctic this past
summer, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the first explorer
to complete this journey. Please see nwp100.com
for more information. She is also the designer for their official
web site.
