Anna Kunz

Anna Kunz is a native of Chicago, IL, where she currently lives and works. Kunz received a BFA from the Art Institute of Chicago, and a MFA at Northwestern University, and later attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Skowhegan, Maine. She has exhibited widely, including in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, New York, Madrid, and Poland. Kunz’s work is included in numerous public and private collections.

Grounded in a rigorous generative process, Kunz collapses hierarchies between media and sensory experiences, often using painted and dyed fabrics that function like nets to capture and manipulate light and color to create immersive environments. Her work is a testament to the continued possibilities for painting to create a space of contemplation, unification and joy. Kunz is the recipient of multiple awards and accolades, including nominations from 3Arts, Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation, Richard H. Driehaus Foundation, Emerging Artist award from the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Artadia Chicago, Rema Hort-Mann Foundation's Individual Artists Grant, and The Joan Mitchell Foundation in 2020. She has been awarded numerous artist residencies, including the Golden Family Foundation Residency, Edward Albee Foundation Residency, the Space Program at Marie Sharpe Walsh Foundation and the Roger Brown Artist Residency.
