Elaine Anthony (1943–1996) was an American mixed media painter.[1] She was best known for her Black Mesa Series inspired by a spiritual journey of healing undertaken after being diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987. Her work became a mode of expression and empowerment, combined with lifestyle changes, that led her on a redemptive journey toward wellness. Subsequent popular bodies of work created by Anthony include Warrior Marriage Feast Series, Warrior Icon and Spirit Icon.
