Anna P.

Anna was a student at VAI from elementary school through her high school years. She was the Visual Arts Sterling Scholar at Brighton High in 2015. Anna went on to study Fine Arts at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY, and later earned her Master’s Degree at New York Academy of Art. In an interview with Juxtapoz Magazine, Anna spoke about her time as a student at VAI:

“...In Utah, it was interesting, I had a mentor in Bruce Robertson, he runs Visual Art Institute and teaches at the University of Utah, and found my work in what I guess you can describe as one of those elementary school art shows that’s in the summer in big shopping malls. He found my work there, and called my elementary school and asked for my mom's contact ... I owe a lot to him about what I’ve learned. He instigated this, and seriously gave me a love of drawing and painting.” (*NOTE* Bruce Robertson is the current Art Director of Visual Art Institute*)

Anna has received many prestigious awards for her work. She has exhibited widely, in cities including New York, London, Amsterdam, LA, Rome, and Tokyo. You can see Anna’s work at annaparkart.com.
