About the Artist - Original Paintings - by Elaine Anagnos, Painter of Cats and People



	As a child in Massachusetts, Elaine Anagnos remembers drawing
	her own cartoons and asking her mother if "anyone would buy them".
	She did not get serious about her artwork until many years later
	when she moved to New York City and studied with an instructor
	who emphasized impressionism. Again -- another interruption when
	when she started her own meeting planning business in New York.
	Since moving to St. Petersburg in 1991, however, she devotes full
	time to art, which has included teaching at The Arts Center and making
	unique jewelry and T-shirts. She has studied with Grace Keeler,
	Ted Minchin, Michael Schlicting and most recently, Judith Dazzio.

	Elaine is a signature member of the Florida Watercolor Society (FWS)
	The International Society of Acrylic Painters (ISAP) and is represented
Elaine with one of her many paintings	in many private collections throughout the U.S., Canada and Great
	Britain. Her art is always on view at A Little Room for Art in Historic
	Pass-A-Grille, Florida, an artists' cooperative of which she is a founding
	member. Elaine lives in St. Petersburg with her husband, a dog and a cat.
