Early life

Anthony was born in New York City in 1943.[2] She and her identical twin sister Elaine Anthony were raised in Connecticut. Anthony attended Stephens College, Missouri and the Rhode Island School of Design, earning a bachelor's degree in art in 1966.[3][4]

Career

In 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.[3] 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.[3] 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.[4] 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.[5]

In 2009 Anthony participated in the exhibition, Best of The West: Southwest, representing artists in the New Mexico.[6]

Anthony has lived and worked in Connecticut, Washington State, and most recently, Santa Fe, New Mexico.
