My childhood and early adult life, was spent traveling the world with my wandering parents. England, Papua New Guinea and Ireland were some of the countries we lived in for extended periods of time, and where I went to school (including 4 years of art college in Ireland).
In 1986 I moved to Baltimore and started a career as a decorative painter. Murals, commissioned paintings, portraits as well as stenciling and faux finishing, have kept me very busy and traveling for the past 37 years.
Anna Child (b. South Carolina) is a Baltimore-based painter whose abstract work investigates the generative potential of doubt and ambiguity. Her process-driven practice treats painting as a form of visual thinking—intuitive, unstable, and rooted in the aesthetics of uncertainty. Through layering, erasure, and reversal, her work resists resolution, inviting viewers to engage with what is contingent, unresolved, and in flux.
