Anna BOGH is a visual artist originally from Moscow, now based in Maryland. Her artistic journey began in San Diego, California, where she spent ten years developing her style and approach. In 2020, her mural “Flower Connection” won the San Diego Children's Discovery Museum Mural Competition — a work created in response to the theme “The Joy of Being Together Outside” during the early months of the global pandemic.

After relocating to Pittsburgh, Anna contributed to the Make a Marc Art for Justice initiative in 2023. Her work has since been shown in exhibitions across the East Coast. In recent years, she received the People’s Choice Award at MFA's Collector’s Choice exhibition, First Place at Columbia Art Center’s Blossoms of Hope, and a Jury Award for her piece “Peeking” at the Digital Directions show in Annapolis.

Anna works primarily in acrylics, combining palette knives, soft brushes, and layering techniques. Her creative process balances planning with spontaneity, allowing color and texture to guide the outcome.

She also teaches painting classes for children and creative workshops for adults — mainly in Russian, supporting her local community, but also in English when needed. Anna is open to collaborations, commissions, and new exhibition opportunities.
