statement
Anna Schultz’s work is inspired by the dark and mundane, the vintage and the odd, the spiritual and the emotional. She wants viewers to share in the feelings we are often afraid to show and the inchoate fears and desires we have. Using illustrative methods, she makes these thoughts appear to be more approachable and relatable to the viewer. Her mainly central compositions give the viewers no choice but to look directly at the illustration and think about what the piece is suggesting.
Though Schultz is assiduously process oriented, each of her works have a piece of her heart and psyche into them. They tell her story and who she is through illustrative paintings and drawings. By depicting the common humanity that we all share, viewers will connect and relate to her works.
