eco-art for change
Anne Cummings

Anne’s involvement in the arts has been a lifelong pursuit, from art classes at the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio as a child to creating and teaching art in many venues throughout her art career. Anne pursued a Bachelor of Arts degree in studio art and art history from Ohio University and did graduate work in history and art history at the University of Toledo and Ohio State University. She completed a Master’s degree at Saint Michael’s College of Vermont in Creative Arts in Education. Her current goal is to use her Eco-Art to support environmental causes.
Anne has worked professionally in the arts in many capacities. She has been an art educator, business owner, exhibition curator, museum store manager, graphic artist, grants writer, member of a fiber artists’ cooperative, and art consultant. She had a 20+ year career as a high school art educator, and is now focusing full time on her studio art practice, environmental issues, and community work. Anne became a resident of Connecticut recently, and is exploring the vibrant art scene in her area, as well as the joys of being a Nonna!
