Anna Falk


Anna Falk (b. 2004, Philadelphia) is an emerging painter splitting her time between Philadelphia, PA, and Savannah, GA. She is pursuing a B.F.A. in Painting at the Savannah College of Art and Design, where she is projected to graduate in 2026. Falk is a self-described “figurative abstractionist,” aiming to explore mark-making, distortion, and the utilization of negative space within shadowy, dreamlike landscapes and portraits. When not depicting the form, Falk investigates natural motifs throughout her work. She is particularly drawn to trees, viewing them as multifaceted metaphors for desire and longing, growth and grounding, the energetic connection between all living things. Rooted in themes of femininity and the impermanence of memory, her paintings have been shown at SCAD’s Fine Arts Showcase (2023, 2024), as well as at ARTS Southeast Gallery’s “Wild Things” Summer exhibition. Currently, her work is featured in the “Reflections” issue of PJAS Magazine, and her studio will be on view at SCAD’s 2025 Fine Arts Showcase.
