| Ana
Demertzis was born in Indianapolis, Indiana. Her passion for art began at an early age, in the rolling hills of rural Indiana. At the age of eleven, a whole new world opened for Ana, when her family moved to Punta Gorda, a small town on the west coast of Florida, just south of where her pioneer ancestors homesteaded in the 1800's. These childhood experiences brought a special sense of connection to the decorative arts and artifacts from a bygone era. Such fond ties with the past and Ana's love of gardening are apparent in the florals and botanicals of her most recent work, some of which are painted on 18th century surfaces. Majoring in art at the University of Miami, Ana received a scholarship to continue her studies in Oaxaca, Mexico. Intoxicated by the land and culture, Ana remained in Mexico, painting and raising a family, for thirteen years. Presently, Ana's summer studio in nestled in the bucolic country setting of Schoharie county, New York. Her winter studio and gallery are located in the small historic town of Arcadia, Florida. Ana is always surrounded by the subject matter she loves the most, be it hardy perennials, or Florida's exotic tropicals, the flowers and plants she paints are always in bloom, just outside her studio door. For information regarding Ana's original work, signed and numbered limited edition prints, open edition prints, please see her gift shop page on Florida Artists Registry.com. To commission a painting, please contact her by phone or in writing at her summer or winter address. |
