Anna grew up in Idaho, where an artistic lifestyle surrounded her from the start. She is grateful to her father, Robert Moore, who taught her to enjoy beauty and love impressionistic art. She looks up to him, his art school friends, and many artists who studied with him throughout her childhood.

Anna is inspired whenever she sees a painting that makes her soul swell. She enjoys working with oil in a painterly, impressionistic style. She prefers nature as subject matter, specifically trees, for their organic rhythms, shapes, and colors.

“I want my paintings to evoke an inspirational or uplifting feeling from any distance, as nature does. I love to look at my paintings up close and see the juxtaposition of even unexpected colors next to each other. I work layer on layer to produce these many small moments of color and texture.”

Anna earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Utah State University, emphasizing in graphic design. She will always admire and be grateful to her instructors there. Her studies included a trip abroad in Germany where she painted and viewed museums. She was honored to be selected by USU’s Caine College of the Arts as a Caine Scholar, the college’s most distinguished scholarship.

Anna lives in Missoula, Montana where she loves to hike.
