Anise Stevens was a self-taught painter, produced playwright, published essayist and contributing art critic to several publications including Artillery and AEQAI.
Anise was a true lover of the arts, but didn’t pursue painting with regularity until diagnosed with breast cancer just before her 43rd birthday. Anise found painting a therapeutic outlet and motivator to persevere with inspired resilience. For seven
years, she fought but ultimately lost a brave battle against cancer.

Her memory will be forever honored by the tremendous legacy that she left to Union Station Homeless Services. Her gift will allow Union Station’s life-saving work to continue for many years to come. We are inspired by her fearlessness, creativity, and commitment to those we serve.
