Ana L. Garcia
The youngest of three children, Ana was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1957 and later moved with her family to Laredo, Texas. She adoptd the artist name of "Baby".
Ana began painting at age twelve, and continues to this day adapting skills used in traditional painting to a digital medium. After completing secondary school, Ana attended Laredo, Junior College where she majored in Fine Arts. She transferred in 1978 to Texas A&M in Kingsville, Texas where she continued studying Fine Arts. In addition, Ana also studied Industrial Arts which provided her with skills that allowed her to transfer her art into other mediums, such as woodwork and photography.
Ana married fellow artist, Roberto, in 1982 with whom she has two children, now grown. Ana presently resides in Pagosa Springs, Colorado where she continues refining her art career. She spends much of her time in the bronze casting foundry built by her and Roberto in 1996. Ana concentrates primarily on her sculpting. While the majority of her work has been influenced by wildlife, she has recently begun work with bronze portraitures. New technology has allowed her to take her painting to a new level and she experiments often with digital art.
Ana loves the natural beauty provided by Colorado. The abundant wildlife and rugged landscape constantly inspire her work. She enjoys using her art to capture the true reality of the flora and fauna around her. She enjoys experimenting with new mediums and seeking to express her creativity in new ways.
Ana has participated in numerous art shows and has had her work shown in multiple galleries, both her own and others. Presently her works can be seen at Wild Spirits Gallery in Pagosa Springs, Co and she is currently accepting commissions for bronze portraitures.
