“Drawing, in both large and small formats, using the energy of my whole body, lends an aliveness to the cast-off elements of living organisms. By using transparent media I honor the cyclical transformation of animate and inanimate lifeforms.” Anna Friesen
“Picturing the natural world in a physical, gestural elegance, the artist [Anna Friesen] isolates the simplest things and pays homage to the building blocks of our natural world . . .“ Mat Gleason, curator
