Anna Schenker is the special projects assistant to the director and lecturer in the College of Art at the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts. She earned a Master of Fine Arts in visual art from the Sam Fox School and an bachelor’s degree in art and psychology from Skidmore College.
Schenker makes paintings, rubbings, and sculptures that record direct interactions with trees, plants, and weather within her immediate surroundings. This close investigation seeks to slow down our initial perception of environments and create space for wonder and play.
