Guardians of the Night Drawing

Anna Schölch was born in Sweden, raised in Germany, and educated in the United States. She makes almost life-size figurative pastel pieces that explore human connection and interaction through magic realist narratives. Using pictures from her camera roll, she cuts apart memories of people, animals, and objects and rearranges them into distorted familiar environments to capture the essence of people and hide their secrets. Schölch received her Master of Fine Art from the Institute of Art at New England College and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing and Illustration from New Hampshire Institute of Art. She lives and works in Allen, Texas.
