"If an artist were asked what she was thinking while creating her artwork, she would hardly give a reasonable answer to that question. This process cannot be analyzed. It is like a miracle." "You are just drawing and that is all.... simply not thinking of anything definite. The moment you start thinking.... and that's it-unnecessary stroke, knows how it all happens. Pleasure, passion, joy; here are characteristics of this process." Anna’s artwork is mysterious enough to be fully understood only in the viewer’s imagination. The predominant image portrayed in her work is that of the illusionary human body. A moment in the time is stopped, a familiar face revealed, the grace and elegance of the body in motion captured. This soft view element gives viewers the opportunity to explore a version of what they see or would like to see in that image. The viewer becomes a participant in the drama unfolding before his eyes. Figures are rendered perfectly, naturally, and the use of extensive detail in the positive space is complemented by impressionistic backgrounds that serve to more fully define the subject while contributing Anna’s signature rich colors and evocative moods. "Quickly, easily, and brightly: this is the way I draw, the same way I live. My art is a reflection of myself..."
