Anna BOGH
1st Place winner 2024. "WINGS OF HOPE". Colombia Art Center, MD
CAT COLLECTION
AWORD WINNER
In June 2020, Anna's artwork "Flower Connection" won the San Diego Children's Discovery Museum Mural Competition.
The competition theme was "The Joy of being outside". Against the backdrop of the hard worldwide pandemic period the artwork "Flower Connection" symbolically called on the world to preserve love and take care of loved ones with an extra effort. People from more than 15 countries took part in the voting.
In her artist’s statement, Anna says, “Felines and Flowers represent the unity of Flora and Fauna. Mother Cat, like Mother Earth – radiates warmth and love and shows that we are all connected by the same laws of nature. The Kitten, a child of nature, symbolizes humanity absorbing the life-giving energy of the Earth.”

ABOUT
Originating from Moscow, Anna's artistic journey unfolded in San Diego, California, where she resided for a transformative decade and where artistic metamorphosis began, culminating in 2020 with Anna's victory in the Mural Billboard Competition at the San Diego Children's Discovery Museum with the piece "Flower Connection".
The global pandemic prompted Anna's family to relocate to Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, where in 2023, she contributed to the Art for Justice initiative with the poignant artwork "Lost But Not Forgotten" as part of the "Make a Marc" project.
Today, settled in Maryland, Anna has become a member of the Maryland Federation of Art, clinching the People’s Choice award in October 2023 for the emotive masterpiece "Dance with Pillows".
From her earliest years, Anna's fascination with art burgeoned into a lifelong passion. Experimentation led her to acrylics. Anna's commitment extends beyond her canvases; she hosts art events for the Russian-speaking community, driven by a sincere desire to infuse joy into immigrants' lives through artistic engagement.
Anna's art is more than an aesthetic endeavor—it's an emotional odyssey. Suggestive and stirring, her works are crafted to evoke profound emotions from the viewer, inviting them to explore the intricate tapestry of life and find profound emotions within the brushstrokes.
