 Anna Jaap holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and has worked as painter and printmaker since 1988. Her work is collected extensively throughout the United States and has been shown in New York, Atlanta, Memphis, Nashville, Chicago and Washington D.C.. Clients include Paramount, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Primus, and The National Aquarium.
Jaap was born in Arlington, Texas and spent her earliest years in the immigrant farming community of Ganado, Texas. When she was five, she moved to the mountains of southern West Virginia. The peeling, papered walls of old farmhouses, solitary play in rural woodlands, and an ongoing search for the meaning of home have all shaped her body of work as an artist.
At age 35, Jaap twice faced the possibility of blindness. Lush monotypes of the still life gave way to charcoal drawings of branches and leaves charged with a vibrating quiet. Recent paintings continue to distill the botanical image and explore the possibility of process.
Jaap lives in Nashville where she paints, writes and serves on the Board of Prevent Blindness Tennessee.
