Ananda Fetherston, Alex

Ananda Fetherston (b.1984) is a painter living in New York. A maladjusted, depressed teenager in suburban Florida, Ananda evaded a multitude of criminal convictions and substance abuse problems. Life saw her on to New York City at age 17 to pursue new heights of indulgence, which eventually led to an abrupt bout of sobriety and subsequently the better part of a Masters in Theoretical Physics. After leaving her graduate program she spent two years perfecting her golf game. She then went on to discover a passion for representational art. She completed a four year training under Jacob Collins at the Grand Central Atelier, where she is now an instructor. Her art is single mindedly driven by the pursuit of whimsy as a means of death acceptance in a world of death deniers. Her work lives in private collections across the world.
