Myungja Anna Koh is a Korean-American artist and writer living and working in Long Island, New York. Since her debut in Karlsruhe, Germany, in 2011, she has promoted her artworks through more than 70 exhibitions in the United States, Germany, France, Canada, and elsewhere. She has also won various international and national competitions.
Her main mediums are acrylic, watercolor, and digital art. She bases her paintings on the inspiration within her mind, specifically to capture and improvise the unique energy of the objects. In articulating such invisible energy, her skill and performance include both brushes and various experimental attempts such as finger painting and balloon-smashing painting. She wants to leave traces of paint on paper or canvas by using this momentary, uncontrollable, impromptu energy. She believes that Art is similar to nature, which constantly changes but has eternal continuity as a visible narration. She has been making her paintings for years, trying to understand the intuitive and primitive messages mother nature gives to humans through the paintings, and with artistic lenses, she has experienced healing and transformation. And, if possible, she hopes that as many people as possible can experience art's driving force and healing power and fill the world as to being an Art advocate. Especially with a vision, she earned her master's degree in educational theater, storytelling, and arts from Adelphi University in 2023. During this process, she published her first children's book, "Hello My Robin", and realized the effectiveness and importance of the storytelling and has published several books since. The book is currently available for purchase on Amazon. (https://www.amazon.com/author/annakoh) Therefore, she wants to continue to be an artist, creating her work and communicating with the world through her paintings and writing. Additionally, through annakoh.com, she introduces her new artworks daily, telling her stories about her artworks, her philosophy as an artist, and essential information to share. You can see the detailed story on the blog & info menu.
