Selected Works

Anna Goodman Herrick is a queer, nonbinary, interdisciplinary artist. They were a 2025 City of Los Angeles Commissioned Artist and a guest speaker at 2026 West Hollywood Pride. In June 2026, Newsweek featured Anna as a leading voice in LGBTQ+ representation.

Anna’s work has been exhibited at Alena Museum, Root Division Gallery in San Francisco, and NEARCON Conference in Lisbon, Portugal, which presented Anna’s VR installation.

As a poet and performance artist, Anna has performed at the Emily Dickinson Museum, with Los Angeles Review of Books at Hauser & Wirth, Artist Uprising, Bloomsday on Broadway, and more.

Anna’s practice investigates the relationship between the body and typography (the physical body of narrative), exploring queerness, gender, embodiment, ritual, connection, sovereignty, and access. They work across performance, photography, printmaking, painting, text, video, sculpture, and installation. Uniting these disciplines within a single body of work, Anna often utilizes saturated color and formal contrast.

Their practice holds the tension between the natural and the synthetic, metallics and soft materials, and the digital and the analog, subverting hegemonic, ritual, and pop-cultural iconography, challenging patriarchy and repressive hierarchies of who and what is considered sacred. The result invites deeper engagement with the self and with each other.
