Ana
was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and 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 visually through
paints, pencil, ink or back then, crayons.
Throughout Ana’s adulthood, she searched
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.
Ana's studio is now located in Markham, north of Toronto,
Ontario in Canada.
She was one of the 25 selected Canadian
artists who voyaged to paint Greenland and the High Arctic
in the summer of 2006, celebrating the 100th anniversary
of the first explorer to complete this journey. Her work
is located in private and corporate collections in Canada
and the United States, and in the Permanent Collection at
the Vancouver Maritime Museum and the City of Spoleto, Italy. |

Arctic
Quest artists hand delivered art supplies to the
school in Resolute Bay, donated by Elmer's Products,
Inc. Unfortunately, we were unable to make it to Pond
Inlet, due to ice conditions.
Kindly enough, the ship's crew delivered
our loot to Pond Inlet on our behalf. One of the
greatest need is for paper. Trees hardly grow in
this Northerly climate.
Along our journey, we encountered
many friendly, smiling faces. Artists spent time
on the shores sketching and painting these beautiful
people.
Shown above are children from Ilulissat,
Greenland. The eldest girl was pleased to pose as
a model. Their reward... Conte Pencils all the way
from France provided by Elmer's Products, Inc.
