Every artist needs to be challenged to find new and exciting means of expression.

Although primarily known for her batik-like watercolors on rice paper,  Anna continues to explore other mediums and has found with pastel painting and acrylics, she can continue to express herself through the use of rich colors and underlying design.  Anna hopes to move the viewer to be part of the creative experience and enjoy a particular place or subject.
