Anna Westfall earned an M.F.A. from the University of New Mexico and a B.F.A. from James Madison University. Westfall is a multidisciplinary artist whose work often explores the complex relationship between memories, genetics, nature, and systems in culture that shape identity. Her sculptures and installations attempt to embody an essence, energy, and structure found in nature while exploring intersections. Using media including porcelain, steel, video projections, acrylic sheet, and light, she hopes to capture ephemeral and intangible moments shaped by perception. In addition, Westfall is interested in the value of functional objects used in daily life that shape personal and cultural aesthetics. Westfall has exhibited her work in Virginia, New Mexico, Georgia, Washington, D.C., and Massachusetts.
