ECCOTA is pleased to welcome Anna Lemnitzer to our Arts In Education Teaching Artist Roster. Teaching artists are professionals in their field conducting residencies where they mentor and instruct participants on their craft.
Anna is an interdisciplinary artist inspired by human experience and her passion for understanding others. Her artist career began at the age of nine with training in drawing and painting. She continued building on that early training, now bringing seventeen years’ experience teaching, exhibiting, and participating in the arts. In addition, she has more than eight years working in higher education and five years as a high school arts instructor, much of which has bridged into community building projects.

Visual Artist: Mixed Media & Digital
Anna’s work as an artist is a reflection of the world around her. She is passionate about using both traditional and digital tools, as this mirrors our life. The two-dimensional works created by Anna focus on layers of the psychological through allegory, often exploring themes of empathy, identity, memory, and ritual.
Anna employs a twofold process to create her works. First, she utilizes digital photography to capture the visual. That image is then moved into graphic editing (such as Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator) for alteration and collage. The final step is hand-rendering the graphic image in a vibrant display of graphite, gouache, and watercolor.
Her focus as an arts educator is on developing dynamic and diverse learning environments where students thrive in creation and building success in integrating students’ arts education into the community.
