About

Hello!

I'm Anna Zachariah. I live and make art in Kenmore, Washington state, USA. I am originally from Kerala in southern India, but the Pacific Northwest has long been my home. With a background in engineering and business followed by a decade in corporate roles, I am currently happily invested in my art practice.

Highlights

My solo show "Tropical Garden Night" was exhibited at City Gallery in Kenmore City Hall, Kenmore WA during June - July 2022. My paintings have previously been juried into shows at Parklane Gallery (Kirkland, WA), Schack Art Center (Everett, WA), Edmonds Arts Festival (Edmonds, WA) and MLT Arts Commission's Arts of the Terrace show (Mountlake Terrace, WA). 

Influences & Inspiration

My artistic influences are based in nature and draw upon my multi-cultural life in the US. I use deep colors that I associate with the Pacific Northwest, along with shapes and patterns inspired by tropical flora. I often incorporate color and composition styles that are deeply influenced by traditional South Indian textiles and their gold toned embroidery. The landscapes that feature most often in my work are from the Pacific Northwest.

Mediums, Surfaces & Style

I work primarily with acrylic, ink and printmaking, and often experiment with various other mediums. My themes center on the natural world, with most of my work featuring botanical inspiration or landscapes.
