Anna Le Moine Gray (born Anna Le Moine on 2 September 1963) is a contemporary Breton artist.
Artistic biography[edit]
Anna Le Moine Gray was born in Gourin, Brittany, France in 1963.[1]. She studied at Rennes and Oxford Universities[2], graduating in Linguistics in 1990. She lived in Jersey for 33 years from the age of 9 after her family moved there, before returning to Brittany in 2016. She is the eldest daughter of Pierre Le Moine.
She studied Architecture after being taught drawing and painting from the age of four in the studios of the painters Antoine Hascoët, Isabelle de Longvilliers, Camille Nuri and Philippe Lejeune - founder of the Ecole d’Etampes.
She predominantly paints landscapes and seascapes, with some portraiture, using oil or gouache.
She has exhibited regularly in mixed and solo exhibitions since 1984 and illustrated several books, winning prizes and commendations in the United Kingdom and Europe.
Anna Le Moine Gray is the author of 'Jersey, Portrait of an Island', a book of paintings and sketches, which was published in November 2009 by Waterstones[3] and has subsequently been an active member of the Breton writer's community[4].
From the launch of Rural Jersey until 2017, she was their Artist in Residence[5] and was also asked to write a regular double-page article on Art & Nature, a column she created.
In 2007, she was commissioned by The Jersey Arts Centre to create an exhibition based on Gerald Durrell’s book My Family and Other Animals to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its first publication[6].
In 2012, she designed two history interpretation panels for the Millennium Town Park in Jersey[7].
Amongst Anna’s other Public commissions are the 2010 Jersey Heritage Portrait Commission[8]; The National Trust for Jersey Commission of 64 bird paintings and a ‘page’ on the history of their Wetland Centre[9] [10] [11] and for the National Trust magazine[12]; a Diamond Jubilee portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II[13]; a double portrait of Les Procureurs du Bien Public for the States of Jersey[14]..
