[160x202] Jo Whaley has lifelong roots in the San Francisco Bay Area, having earned advanced degrees in Art and Photography from the University of California, Berkeley by 1980. Whaley originally studied to become a painter, putting her abilities to work as a scenic artist for the San Francisco Opera and other Bay Area theatrical companies. Her theater experience openly informs her photography, in which she creates stage sets and employs numerous props, painted backdrops and dramatic lighting. All of her photographic series fuse the language of photography with the language of painting and rely on an expressive use of color.
Anna was born in 1975 in Krasnodar, Russia. In 1993 - 1996 she studied at the Yaroslavl Art College, city of Yaroslavl. In 1996 – 2006 she studied and graduated Cuma-gum-laude from the St Petersburg Academy of Fine Art.
Anna’s father, who was well known in Russia architect, and mother, a specialist in extinct cultures of the past, gave their daughter superb education, that included private lessons in music, ballet and painting. Fine art became Anna’s profession, music is the love of her life, and ballet is the dominant subject of her paintings. From time to time she still goes to ballet classes to dance.
Anna Vinogradov is a rising star of the Russian fine art scene. Starting from the first year at the St Petersburg Academy of Fine Art, she had a long line of collectors waiting for her paintings, sketches and drawings done in a course of studies at the Academy. After semi-annual student exhibitions, all her schoolwork was usually purchased by eager dealers and fans. Soon dealers from abroad began to come and offer Anna substantial sums of money for her not-yet painted paintings. Sketches for her graduation works were sold for $5,000 - $6,000 each, and her graduation work, after receiving “special accommodation” of the Academy, was sold to a Chinese dealer for a record $30,000 unheard payment for a student’s work.
