ABOUT - Anna
Hi there! I'm Anna, an Australian artist who has been obsessed with creating for nearly three decades.
​
As soon as I started walking, I began leaving a trail of crafts behind me wherever I went. I created "art" out of pretty much anything I could get my hands on. I scoured the mud in the backyard to find the best clay for making pottery, made clothes from curtains—Maria Von Trapp style—and built empires out of boxes, brooms, and blankets. You name it, I tried to create it. No supplies were safe. After a few years of school, a decade of soul-searching on the other side of the world, and a global shutdown, I am now proudly a full-time visual artist based in the United States. Currently finding materials and upcycling in San Francisco, I am dedicated to creating art that inspires and empowers.

I want my work to serve as a positive reminder—
​
to help the viewer pause, refocus, and reconnect with their own unique experience in the world. Whether it's quiet peace of a moment alone, the adrenaline of standing up for something for the first time, or the way they felt when they said, “I do”,
my goal is always to make intimate moments feel grand.
​
I work predominantly in acrylics and mostly monochrome, using chiaroscuro lighting techniques and stripped-back aesthetic to reveal strength, softness, and everything in between.
I aim to faithfully portray my subjects through a friendly lens that celebrates them -
removing unhelpful background noise to ensure that what's left is honest, empowering and beautifully seen.
SELECT CLIENT LIST:
Due to the amount of time (and love) I put into every piece, I predominantly work with a select client base for private and commercial commissions. If you are interested in having a piece commissioned, please submit an inquiry below or send me an email at annaparsons.info@gmail.com.
* Please keep in mind that the production time is typically one month and there is often a one month+ waitlist, meaning it is always safest to reach out as soon as possible.
The best investment i've made for my office space all year! Anna Parsons' painting completed my office. As soon as we hung it, the whole room made sense. Everything now feels sophisticated, modern and so chic. It is the perfect first impression piece for our visitors.
