About Anna Dean...

 Anna G. Dean is an interdisciplinary artist working in large-scale sculpture, installation, video, and mixed media. Following the death of her Mother when she was a young child, she spent her life seeking answers to the question - does the universe follow a pattern or does it unfold in a series of random events? This led to her research on chaos and order.

 

Anna began her career in art education, working with the Art21 Educators program in NYC, and the SmartArts program in Greenville SC. She completed her MFA at Winthrop University, where she coordinates the CreatorSpace - an interdisciplinary technology lab. Anna also worked as a production designer for ACSM, a design-build firm in Charlotte NC.

​

Anna’s work has been exhibited at Casa-Museu Abel Salazar in Porto, Portugal, the Mint Museum, the McColl Center, the Brooklyn Collective, Redux Gallery, and Miami Art Week. Anna has public art installations in various locations throughout the Southeast including Atrium Health, Levine Children’s Hospital, and upcoming projects with the Charlotte Area Transit System and Eastland Park.

 

Anna was recently awarded the CodaWorx Emerging Artist of the Year at the Coda Summit in Washington DC. She has been an artist-in-residence at the McColl Center, Penland School of Craft, and was awarded a project space at Goodyear Arts. In 2024, she recieved the Individual Artist Fellowship through the South Carolina Arts Commission. Anna’s studio is located at Loso Studios in Charlotte NC.
