| Anna Wainright Anna Wainright was born in Landsthul Germany in 1953. The daughter of a career army father, she spent her early years traveling throughout the country and the world. Settling in West Long Branch, New Jersey, by 2007 (the children grown) and while still working full-time in urban development, Wainright started painting on a regular basis. Largely self taught, she began working with soft pastels and enjoyed early success in juried exhibitions receiving several awards and signature level in many Pastel societies throughout the country, including the Pastel Society of America and the International Association of Pastel Societies where she has achieved Master level accreditation. She has exhibited her work at the National Arts Club in New York City, the Butler Institute of American Art in Columbus Ohio, the Slater Museum in Norwich Connecticut and the Haggin Museum in Stockton, California. Her work is presently among the IAPS Master Circle exhibition in China, which will tour until the end of 2017. Also working in oils, Wainright is known for her atmospheric portrayals of the landscape, and, she attributes her love of the American artists Inness, and Whistler, and the English artist William Turner as early influences on her love of art.

Wainright has been published among the annual Pastel 100, of the International magazine the Pastel Journal, three years in a row, as well as featured in an article in the Jan/Feb issue of the magazine in 2016.
