    Anna Hooser is a Seattle-based artist known for her vibrant yet emotionally complex portraits and florals.

    “Beautifully Corrosive” defines her artistic vision, the belief that the hard stuff—whether personal loss, societal expectations, grief, or discomfort—reveal an inner beauty and strength that often lies just beneath the surface. This idea is central to her work, that destruction and grace exist at the same time, the tension between outward appearance and inner struggles. How people present themselves to the world, often hiding their true feelings behind masks, is a constant struggle. Though her subjects may appear composed, they bear the weight of personal pain, a reflection on the emotional toll of carrying life’s burdens in silence or out loud.  By embracing discomfort, her paintings offer a powerful commentary on transformation and the hidden strength that often lies within.

    Anna is also a web developer, graphic designer, and playful mess maker in her studio.
