Ana Doolin

Thank you for visiting my page, and I hope you like my paintings. It makes me happy when someone really likes my artwork. I just started listing my paintings today, and I will be adding more every day.
I'm Ana Doolin, a painter and a writer born in Lisbon, Portugal, where I now live and work after more than two decades in the United States — originally I lived in Chicago, and later in Maui, Hawaii.
I have been painting and selling my artwork since 2001, and over the years my paintings have found their way into private collections in the US, Europe, and beyond.

During my years in Maui I exhibited regularly at Art Maui, one of Hawaii's most prestigious juried art shows. My work was accepted every year I submitted, sold each time, and in 2018 I received the Recognition Award from the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts.
Back in Lisbon, I showed new work in 2023 as part of an international exhibition series, "Artists inspired by Lisbon".

Returning to Lisbon gave me back something I hadn't realized I had lost — the particular light of this city, the tiled façades, the iron balconies, the worn beauty of streets that have been lived in for centuries.
This is what I have been painting these days. Windows, doors, azulejos, ...

Having a post-graduation in Classical Studies (Greek, Latin, Portuguese), she was a teacher of Latin in the Department of Classical Studies at the University of Lisbon.
She was also a translator of literary works for several Portuguese publishers. And she wrote book reviews for a Portuguese weekly newspaper.
