Anna Todaro
Anna Todaro is an acrylic painter from Portland, Oregon.

Anna creates acrylic paintings from scratch, without planning or sketching. Her paintings come directly from her imagination and evoke the spirits of characters in her own mythology.

--------------------------------------------------

My work is part esoteric and is part cute and fun.

I am constantly trying to push my own limits, consistently surprising myself; I am consistently humbling myself, with every new work and day of working.

I grew up in the Suburbs of the Midwest of America in Addison, Illinois.

I have always had a very vivid imagination, from my very first memory onward.

Biologically, I am mostly Bohemian, Osage Native American, Jewish, Irish, and English; On paper, my last name "Todaro" (rhymes with tomorrow) is Sicilian.

I would say, however, that my artwork comes from a culture of it's own; I would say that my artwork comes from a place which I consider to be universally human or....even.....................simply universal.
