About

Anna Schölch was born in Sweden, raised in Germany, and educated in the United States. She graduated from the New Hampshire Institute of Art in 2019 with a major in Creative Writing and minor in Illustration. Currently, she is working on primarily pastel paintings that explore how death impacts life and life follows death; where the secret lives of invisible people are brought to light. Most recently, she has had her work accepted into the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club Open Exhibition, the Texas & Neighbors Regional Exhibition, and the National and International Exhibitions of the Northwest, Connecticut, New Mexico, and Degas Pastel Society. When she is not creating, she enjoys biking on lonely roads and trails in search of familiar, European-resembling places to inspire and fuel her work.
