Anna Jaap holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and has worked as painter and printmaker since 1988. Her work  has been exhibited in New York, Chicago, Santa Fe, Atlanta and Washington D.C., and is collected extensively across the United States.. 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.
