THE ART

Anna Goodman Herrick transforms language into a physical and visual experience, working across print, painting, video, performance, and installation. Her work has been exhibited at Alena Museum, Root Division Gallery, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., the Alena Museum in Oakland, CA, and NEARCON Conference in Lisbon, Portugal, where she created an immersive VR experience based on her text-driven video art.

She has performed at the Emily Dickinson Museum, Patagonia’s Earth Day, Bloomsday on Broadway, and more.

Her practice spans hand-printed typography, layered color, and experimental text-based compositions that explore the tension between precision and expanding realities. Whether on canvas, a screen, or in a built environment, her work invites deeper engagement with language—challenging, reframing, and expanding how words are seen, felt, and understood through art.
