As A Professional Portrait Artist from the age of 19, and with over 16 years of life casting as her sole support, Ann Lyneah Curtis offers what no other artist can. Presenting her work directly to the public has given Ann an unparalleled collection of styles to choose from. Anns clientele are world wide. Her works have been shipped to Europe, New Zealand, Japan and Canada. My past clients are my most loyal following, I see them again and again, as their families grow. It is not uncommon to have made castings of several generations, and through her castings, Ann has documented numerous childrens journey into adulthood. Leaving Home at Age 18, Ann started her career in portraiture in New Orleans. She worked in Jackson Square creating portraits in pastels and charcoal. For two years Ann sold directly to the visitors of the Historic French Quarter, honing her artistic abilities. From there a brief stint with a touring artist collective brought Ann to San Antonio, Texas. Here she began her college training and continued with her professional artistic endeavors. Opening her own gallery at the age of 21, led to design work for the community at large. Theater design and stage work provided Ann with the many connections necessary to begin workshops in both childrens and college classes, in costume and makeup, clay work and mixed media. Anns Involvement in the Texas Art scene brought her to the attention of the San Antonio Museum of Art. To fill a request for submission to their One Hundred Year Time Capsule, Ann created a face casting that will be unveiled in the year 2081 A.D. Looking for a new way to approach her art, Ann began to offer direct sales to the public. It was an easy step into the Renaissance Theme Faires. An historically accurate form of portraiture life casting has been her primary source of artistic gratification now for over 18 years. Invited to participate in the Southern California Renaissance Faire, Anns work in body casting took off. As her clients tastes have evolved, so too has Anns repertoire. From face castings to kiss castings to whole double body castings, Ann has created a testimony to the beauty of the human form.
