About

Anna Schölch is a Swedish-born, German-raised artist based in Seattle, Washington. Her large-format figurative pastels explore the complexities of modern life and human connection through magical realist imagery. Drawing on personal snapshots for inspiration, she re-contextualizes memories of people, animals, and objects to create alternate realities that shed new light on the everyday and familiar.

Schölch holds a Master of Fine Arts from the Institute of Art at New England College and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing and Illustration from the New Hampshire Institute of Art.
