About
Anna K. Lemnitzer’s work explores structural patterns that intertwine a consortium of seemingly random layered forms and fractals. The universe is a series of spinning evolving systems—continuous, ordered, yet chaotic. Infinite possibilities reflecting and refracting one another; a constant state of energetic creation and destruction. To touch or see one form is to experience many, causing a ripple effect, a spiderweb.
Lemnitzer’s studio practice is grounded in playful exploration where fluidity of meaning, imagination and experience are cultivated. The expanse becomes her muse; the mist of magenta mornings a palette. Intertwining the traditional, mechanical and digital, she fabricates pieces that range from drawing and sculpture to ephemeral installations.
A true wanderer, for the past few years, Lemnitzer has called Texas home. She earned an MFA in Art from The University of Montana, School of Art in 2012, and a BFA in Art Education emphasis Sculpture from The University of Arizona, School of Art in 2005. Lemnitzer has presented, exhibited, and collaborated with such locals as National Wet Paint, CICA in Korea, Teachers College, Columbia University and institutions such as the Andy Warhol Museum. Lemnitzer was the director for the Interdisciplinary Arts Major, Art Program at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford as an associate professor of art in both digital and studio courses. She is currently an assistant professor of art and design at West Texas A&M University where she teaches primarily in foundations and digital art.
