THE ART

Anna Goodman Herrick transforms language into a physical and visual experience— a multidisciplinary artist 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 multidisciplinary practice unites photography, sculpture, hand-printed typography, layered color, subversion of pop culture, 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 ourselves and each other.
