Anna’s demo will include an introduction about silk and a few methods of painting on silk. She will be using silk dyes and silk paint as a medium.

From the artist: “After moving to California, I discovered silk painting and felt an immediate connection to its luminous beauty. On silk, color flows, blends, and creates delicate, unexpected patterns. I enjoy the balance between intention and surprise. I guide the dyes with line and color, while allowing the silk to shape the final image. “

Biography: Anna is a silk-painting artist, wearable-art designer, and founder of SilkArtCloset, her online studio and shop for original hand-painted silk paintings and wearable silk art. Born and raised in Ekaterinburg, Russia, she developed an early love of art through drawing and experimenting with watercolor, acrylic, and pencil.

Anna graduated from the Junior Academy of Architecture and Design before earning a Master’s degree in Applied Mathematics in Ekaterinburg, Russia. The balance between mathematics and art remains an important part of her creative life, bringing together structure, observation, intuition, and imagination.

After moving to California, Anna began exploring silk painting in depth and found a medium that united her love of color, movement, texture, and expressive design. For more than 20 years, she has created original silk paintings and one-of-a-kind wearable silk art.

Anna has exhibited her work at art fairs and exhibitions in the United States and Europe. Alongside her studio practice, she teaches silk-painting classes and workshops, sharing her passion for the medium and encouraging others to explore creativity and develop their own artistic voice.
