Early life
editAnthony was born in New York City, New York in 1943, to Jack Murray Anthony, a cartoonist for The New Yorker.[2][3] She and her identical twin sister, Elaine Anthony were raised in Connecticut.[3] Anthony attended Stephens College, Missouri.[when?] Anthony graduated from Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Painting in 1966.[4][5]
Career
editIn the 1970s, Anthony's papier-mache sculptures earned recognition and one is now in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian. She said the papier-mache was a tribute to her father.[6] The Museum of Contemporary Crafts featured an exhibition of her three-dimensional figures.
By 1978, she stopped sculpting to focus on painting, particularly of still lifes and simple scenes.[6] Her paintings are often made with layered oil pastel on gessoed, textured masonite. She creates ethereal light by using many thin applications of color in many layers.[5] Her paintings and monotypes are represented in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Institution, the Carnegie Institute, and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden among others.[7]
In 2009 Anthony participated in the exhibition, Best of The West: Southwest, representing artists in the New Mexico.[8]
Anthony has lived and worked in Connecticut, Washington state, and most recently, Santa Fe, New Mexico.
