As head of the art program at the Kent Campus of Florida Community College at Jacksonville, Anne Banas' true passion is found in helping her students find their artistic heart and learn to express it. For this reason Anne continues to teach Drawing 1 classes, as well as more advanced painting and mural design.

She has had paintings and other pieces of art displayed in galleries as well as corporate and government offices from California to New York, but her most publically-recognizable pieces are her murals. She has completed several since moving to Jacksonville in 1989, including the city's most-loved landmark mural, the "Cat House".

In 1998 Anne completed what is perhaps her most nationally-recognized piece of public art: America's largest hand-painted mural, the landmark "First Team". This mural rose more than 150 feet over downtown Jacksonville (a feat in itself for Anne, who had to overcome her fear of heights to climb the 14 levels of scaffolding each day!). It depicted five of the original Jacksonville Jaguars NFL team, along with their coach. The mural was nationally-televised during every home game from its completion in the summer of 1998 until it was painted over in September 2006. A limited number of signed & numbered collector's prints of this mural are available.
