2008 Wharf to Wharf Print by Anna Oneglia
Anna Oneglia (say O-nail-ya, like lasagna the "g" is silent)
is a painter and printmaker who's lived in Santa Cruz CA for 25 years. She was
born in NYC, where she attended art school at Cooper Union. Currently, she works
primarily in oils on canvas, producing strong figurative works. Collecting
information in her ever-present sketchbooks, she returns to the studio to work
from her drawings. Travel, dreams, nature, performance, quotes and imagination
all provide inspiration, as do people going about their everyday lives. Anna is
the one in the corner drawing when you are at a meeting, concert or cafe with
her.
Ms. Oneglia makes colorful, graphic artwork, which translates well into posters,
something she loves and considers "people's art". Over her years in town she has
done posters for many organizations, both local and national. These include
Business Aid for AIDS, Women on Waves, Bike to Work Week, Celebration of the
Muse, First Night SC, Villa Montalvo Performing Arts Festival, Cabrillo College,
Nurse Midwives of California, among many others. She was named Distinguished
Artist of the Year by the Santa Cruz Art League in 2002, shows nationally
(locally at both Artisan's downtown and at Many Hands in Capitola), and works
full-time at her art making. She has participated in the SC Cultural Council's
Open Studios for 22 years. Her paintings are published (as cards, calendars,
posters etc.) by Pomegranate Publications, Syracuse Cultural Workers, The
American Friends Service Committee.
