Anna’s love of nature, reading and being a mom and grandmother was the perfect recipe for becoming the illustrator for The Lea Trilogy. She had retired from her high-tech business career back to her home stomping grounds of the Smokey Mountains and was led to check-out JaiLeen’s call for an illustrator; retirement is a “tough” experience for one so active. Other’s interested in acquiring her expertise might just catch her with the right bait. Following is a synopsis of credentials and experience:
¨ Swain County High School- Bryson City, NC ¨ Meredith College, Raleigh, NC– Studied Art ¨ UNC Chapel Hill, NC– Degree in Zoology ¨ East Carolina Univerity - Art History ¨ Studied Graphic Art in Buffalo, NY ¨ Research work in Zoology Labs in Chapel Hill ¨ Seven year partnership in Graphics Arts Co. Buffalo, NY ¨ Ten years as Art Director in Ad Specialty Commpany - Buffalo Imprints ¨ Seven year partnership in Graphics Arts Co.- Buffalo, NY (“There I produced art both by computer and by hand for various ad specialty products as well as for our own embroidery shop. During this time I worked as a free-lance illustrator for various publishers.”)
Tic Toc Productions feels very fortunate in Anna’s retirement! |
