About Me
 

                                       
I have been practicing portraiture for over 35 years. I attended John Herron School of Art, Indianapolis, IN and later studied under nationally known Viennese artist Alice Schlessinger.

At her retirement, Alice requested that I take over the instruction of her classes at the South Bend Regional Museum of Art. Since then, I have moved to northwest Indiana where I conduct classes and draw at art shows and businesses throughout Chicago and surrounding areas.

If you are interested in classes, a workshop or seminar, a gallery exhibit, obtaining a portrait or having a personal demonstration, please feel free to contact me at the number or email address on the front of this brochure.

For me, there is no greater joy than to satisfy a customer!


D. Anne Jones has been a portrait artist for over 35 years. Wherever she works she attracts individuals who are captivated by her skills as an artist; especially her ability to capture the likeness and spirit of her subjects.

Demonstrations
Anne is available for demonstrations at YOUR business, and would be happy to discuss this with interested parties. Having a professional artist working on the premises is a great form of entertainment for restaurants, coffee shops, galleries, boutiques and malls. If you would like to host Anne at your place of business, home party or other event, you will provide fascinating entertainment for your guests as well as generating income for yourself. Contact Anne today to discuss financial arrangements and see how promoting the arts can benefit your business.

 
Custom Portraits

Anne Jones does portraits of children and grandchildren, pets, senior citizens, homes or buildings, ministers, executives and even portraits of YOU for a loved one!

There is no gift quite like an original work of art by a professional artist. Works may be done in chalk pastel, charcoal, pencil, acrylics or oils. Finished portraits are life-sized works and are unframed.

If you are interested in having a portrait done of someone or something that you love, contact Anne Jones. She focuses on capturing the likeness of each individual subject and is especially interested in making each portrait a unique statement of who the subject really is. You may provide photos or a photo session may be arranged where the subject and artist can meet and work together to create a truly satisfying portrayal.
 
 
Host a Home Party

Are you interested in earning extra income? Invite your friends for an evening of fun, food and entertainment! Let everyone know that Anne Jones will be demonstrating her artistic ability at your party and taking orders for any portraits your guests have in mind. Anne will bring her easel and set up so your friends can see her while she works. A drawing will be held for a free portrait of one guest, and Anne will draw so that everyone can see her at work! Be sure to have your guests bring photos of their loved ones so they can place their order at the party, earning YOU a percentage of the total sales, or possibly a free portrait!

“Every student was extremely satisfied with his or her learning experience. They all want her back for another class. I would recommend Anne’s class to beginning artists as well as those more advanced. She has great teaching and communication skills.”
