“ When my dad was about fifteen years old in Italy he joined the underground resistance against Mussolini.
I remember him telling me the story about how he rode his bicycle in the middle of the night to deliver bread, cheese, fruit, vegetables and other local food to the soldiers hiding in the mountains. During this project I realized I had followed in his footsteps.” Anne Heyligers

HIDDEN TREASURES
An Encinitas Story Art Community Project
An Encinitas Story Art Community Project
|
I have been drawing and painting people ever since I can remember. I love to tell stories through the portraits I create. I’ve won art scholarships, awards and solo shows during college and fully intended fine art to be my life’s work. But when I started a family I made that my priority, always knowing I’d return to my art. I participate in the Encinitas annual Arts Alive Banner program each year, depicting historical figures who have had some connection to Encinitas. Now that i have retired, the joy of creation is back in my life.
