About
As an artist, Anna’s primary medium is photography and new media. Her photos and films have been exhibited internationally. Her work reveals the natural world by using her personal physical form as a conduit for exploration. Many of her self-portraits explore an archetypal understanding of self in tamed, ruined as well as wild landscapes. Carving out identities with light and shadow, she invites viewers out of reality and into a fable-like arc of their choosing.
