Anna Fine Foer decided she was going to be an artist when she was 11—the year she lived in Paris for a summer, visiting every museum and gallery in the city. As a fibres and crafts student at the Philadelphia College of Art (now University of the Arts), she became fascinated by the relationship between maps and the land they represented, embarking on a lifelong interest in maps and collage.

Anna emigrated to Israel, where she worked as a textile conservator in Haifa and at Tel Aviv’s Ha'Aretz Museum. She studied at the Textile Conservation Centre at London’s Courtauld Institute, then worked in conservation for the Textile Museum in Washington, D.C. All this time, she continued to work with collage, creating landscapes that had religious or political significance and depicted three dimensions on a two-dimensional plane.

Anna now lives in Annapolis, Maryland with her husband and two sons. She continues to work in collage, creating work that explores religious, spiritual, and scientific themes. In addition, she creates custom Jewish-themed pieces including ketubot, or wedding contracts, and collages for bar and bat mitzvahs depicting each child’s Torah portion.

Anna's work has appeared at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the Maryland Governor's Mansion, and the Israeli Embassy; one of her pieces is in the permanent collection of the Haifa Museum of Art. She was awarded the Encouragement of Young Artists prize for work exhibited in the Artist's House in Jerusalem.
