Bio

Anna Kai is a Pacific Northwest artist, trained in painting and design. Her art is inspired by a sense of connection found through active pursuit via bike, ski and foot. Anna fills her liminal time learning her surroundings through these activities, constantly trying to find her way back to that elusive feeling of total connection to her surroundings. Her paintings speak to these moments and she hopes to inspire others to look closely, tune their path, and nurture their own connection.

Statement

Full immersion, that feeling of being completely connected to your instinct and the natural world. I’ve felt it floating through powder, flying down the dirt, walking a path and planting my garden… Whenever that feeling of immersion is found it tends to come when I’m so focused on the task at hand that everything seems to exist together. I can see every micro root in the soil and the whole hillside at the same time. It’s these moments that spark something deep and mostly unexplainable — this is what I paint, and why I paint. It’s where I hope my paintings can take you back to, as a source of inspiration and a subliminal reminder that we all flow with it, together.
