ANNA COOPER

My art has been a part of me my whole life, ever since I could hold a pencil I have been drawing. As I grew, I was able to discover and experiment with other mediums and loved every one of them from drawing to ceramics. As a young timid person, I often used my artwork as somewhat of a conversation starter. Whatever I was working on, people seemed to be drawn to it and asked about techniques I used. People would often ask how I was able to see something and recreate it on canvas in my own style. I explain that I continually seek to improve my craft, not only in technique but aesthetically as well. It always filled my heart with so much joy to see the range of emotions my collectors felt when they viewed or purchased my artwork. I try to capture and enhance the light, colors, and beauty of what I see. As I learned from my professors “Paint what you see, not what you know.”
