Growing up in western Pennsylvania, drawing, and painting has always been Anne Tavoletti's passion. Besides her artist parents, Mary Cassat, John Singer Sargent, and Rene Gruau were her biggest influences. She carried that passion into The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City; where she earned her associate's degree in fashion illustration. Varying from editorial fashion to folk art, Anne works in acrylics, pen and ink, coloured pencils, watercolors, and more.
