About
Anna Berghuis is a New York based visual artist. Berghuis’ work reckons with authenticity and performance of personality in a time of prolific image making and sharing online. Distortion and the unreal play a large role in her figurative paintings. Her paintings utilize methods of distortion through scale, space, and mono-printing to challenge and mirror contemporary image-making as well as highlight the uneasy relationship between the desire to connect and the impossibility of being fully known.
She received her BA in Art History and Studio Arts from Princeton University. She has exhibited nationally in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and Boston. She was an inaugural resident at Long Meadow Art Residency, a four month solo residency in the Berkshires. Her work has been featured in New American Paintings and Friend of the Artist.
