Anna Kocher - EKPHRASIS
Meet Artist, Anna Kocher
Anna Kocher is a painter, poet, mother, teacher, and frequently melancholic yearner. Her study of art has led her from Philadelphia to Italy and beyond. She has exhibited work in many venues throughout the region, and has created countless commissions for private collections and murals for public enjoyment. She works in a variety of media, but oil paint is her primary focus. Her style can be described as expressive realism, owing equal debt to her influences of Abstract and German Expressionism and American Realism, but her subject matter reflects her own unique gaze and the ambiguously dynamic era in which she came of age.

A Group Exhibit “Mother Made”
A choice, a transformation, a practice.
Mother Made showcases a collection of works by artist-mothers, all in different stages of their careers and motherhood. These works illuminate the changes we experience and how we continue to create art through it all.
Mother Made features works by Bonnie Providence, Juliana Laury, Emily Mullet, Kayla Ackelson, Margaux McAllister, Lee Pohlsander, and Maryann Buschini.
This collective of otherwise radically different Phoenixville artists is unified by one thing: our artistic practices have been indelibly altered by becoming mothers. The archetypal transformation from maiden to mother is celebrated across cultures, and rightfully so; we adapt our bodies, our time, our spaces to shepherd new lives into the world. The choices we continually face challenge us to balance between caregiver and creator.
