An award-winning self-taught artist, Anne Jenkins was born and raised in South Africa but became a British citizen. She lived for 25 years in six countries in Europe and traveled the world extensively before he decided to settle in the United States where she calls home to date. New Orleans was her lovely adopted city for a few splendid years until Hurricane Katrina spoilt everything. Her work champions and celebrates women and good causes. Anne mainly paints large-size acrylics in impasto style with a palette knife – her art is always full of soft watercolor sketches, or vibrant color and movement. Initially, she owned The Point of Art Gallery & Studio in Georgia and she has been a photographer, reporter, English teacher, banker, truck driver and a housecleaner.
Her art and travel writing have been published in many publications, including Opera Now and the Los Angeles Times. Anne and her husband also spent 5 years in the Mediterranean on a sailboat; many months in Central America in a VW van, and in Alaska and Canada. They also spent months touring Asia, plus a couple of years driving a big rig around Canada and the Lower 48. Her watercolors and acrylics can be found in many private and corporate collections in Japan, Europe, Canada, South Africa, all over the United States. Her main interests are writing, art, travel music, and good food enjoyed with friends over some wine. Her life just proves that one never knows what will happen next, and she describes it as a grand adventure.
