Anna Bergin

Anna Bergin is a celebrated emerging artist from New York. She has found success with both commercial and private collectors internationally. Anna majored in Fine Arts with a concentration in painting at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst with continuing education at Skidmore College and the Fashion Institute of Technology. After more than a decade in Beacon, NY her studio and home are now in Newburgh, NY.

Anna's paintings, whether straightforward or not, are always struggling with themselves, attacked by ornate beauty, fitting into figurative forms, or formed out of nature contrasting with cities. The color palate is often arguing with the expressive action and emotion in the painting. Many times there is a thickness to the paint that tempts the viewer with the yearning to touch. The thickness comes from experimentation with materials, often using wood ash and stone dust to achieve density.

We have so many complex thoughts combining to make us who we are. The world around us can push us down or inspire us, all within a minute’s time. Anna Bergin's work is just trying to sort it all out, in her own language, one painting at a time.
