Presenting... Ann Douglass Sanders

"I have been creating art since around the age of three since I was able to hold a crayon. My favorite art is portraiture painting, and I have done portraits for years, but have only been painting in oil for about two years, on and off, and absolutely love it.

I am a huge admirer of the Old Masters, especially daVinci, Michaelangelo and Rembrandt with his wonderful use of chiaroscuro. I studied briefly at the Museum of Art in Boca Raton, Florida, and the Center for Creative Arts in Greensboro, North Carolina, with a wonderful teacher, Julie Schindler, who really encouraged me.

I hope, through hard work and good mentors, to really make the most of my talent throughout the future, as I am just beginning what I hope will be a long and very rewarding career."
