anna mandeno

Hi, I am Anna Mandeno. We live and farm on the wild and beautiful west coast north of Raglan. Originally a nurse I have been a photographer and photography judge over the last 25 years.Three years ago I began painting with Gae Webster and am now on the journey of discovering who I am as an artist and what style I most prefer. I generally work in acrylics but we do dabble in other mediums as well. It gives me so much pleasure to now see my world with both a camera and painter’s eye.
