Anna Jaap holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and has worked as painter and printmaker since 1988. In that time, she has had more than twenty solo exhibitions. Jaap has shown in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Washington D.C. and Santa Fe, and is included in collections across the United States and abroad. Clients include Paramount, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Primus, The National Aquarium, and Ralph Lauren Home.

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.
