Ana Flores was born in Havana, Cuba in 1956. Her family left Cuba for the United States in 1962 as a result of the Cuban Revolution. The daughter of a painter and an architect, Ana became interested in art at an early age. She explored painting and drawing until she entered the Rhode Island School of Design and graduated in 1979 with a major in painting. She then married her husband whom she had met at Rhode Island School of Design and they settled down in Charlestown, Rhode Island. There they had a hand in finishing their own house and studios, creating a home they refer to as Art Farm. Her work contains themes of nature as well as the female form. She cites her Cuban roots as one of her many influences.
