About
Us
We
are a company of artists led by an artist, Anne Jenson. Our shop is located
in Elberton, Georgia, the granite capital of the world.
I
graduated from Ringling School of Art in 1972 and worked as a portrait
artist at Walt Disney until 1979. My husband, my daughter, and I moved
home to Elberton in 1979. I worked as a freelance portrait artist until
1989. I began etching in 1989 when it was very new to the area. Gradually
business grew and it became necessary to hire more artists.
My
company is located in Elberton at 149E N Oliver Street, very close to
downtown and easily accessible.
I
never advertised for artists; they found me. I employ twelve etchers,
including my son, Brian, and myself. Some have had formal art training,
but all are artistic and very capable. I also employ a full time layout
artist and secretary, Lucy, who keeps us all in line! My husband Tom handles
the crane and granite pickup and deliveries.
