"I'm inspired by the rhythms and patterns that repeat throughout the natural world. We’re not separate from the trees, the land, the rivers and seas. In the very structure of our being, we’re connected.”
ANNA JAAP picked up her first camera at age 15, and her first art dealer at age 20. She holds a BFA Magna Cum Laude with an emphasis in classical painting, photography and French. For more than two decades, she's created work informed by poetry, the historical decorative arts, and a deep love of nature.
Jaap has opened more than 40 solo shows, and exhibited in museums and in galleries across the United States. Clients include Avon, Agricultural Bank of China, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, Paramount Pictures, Henredon and Tiffany.
Her work is included in collections worldwide.
