A. E. London
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anne E. London (born December 31, 1957 in southern California) is an American artist and conservationist. Her art was dramatically affected by a trip to a refuge for retired media animals, after which she started to focus on doing dramatic pieces that provide emotive portraits of wild animals, especially endangered species. She lives in Columbus, Ohio and works primarily with charcoal, watercolor, and engravings. She worked for Ms Tippi Hedron.
[edit] Career History
London studied graphic arts under Saul Bernstein at Southern California State University and worked professionally in graphics design, doing storyboarding and logo design for the actress Tippi Hedren, until a visit to Hedren's Shambhala Preserve for retired media animals inspired her to leave the commercial sector. [1].
Recent work includes artwork for non-profit preservation organizations such as the international rhino association. Her art is also sold to private collections.
