Anna Wingfield's practice explores the environmental shifts woven throughout our world, examining how our sense of place is shaped by interaction, memory, and ecological change. Raised by biologist parents, she spent her childhood outdoors learning to understand landscapes as living, interconnected systems. Today, her work gives form to the life thriving and struggling within ecotones, the transitional spaces where habitats meet and change, amid the pressures of sound pollution, urban sprawl, and a shifting climate.
Wingfield begins by immersing herself in the landscape: walking riverbanks, tracing shifting paths, and observing how light, weather, and memory shape the terrain. Working in the Impressionist tradition of capturing fleeting moments in nature, she documents her surroundings through field notes, collected color palettes, audio recordings, and written observations. She returns to specific sites over time, mapping the places where ecological boundaries overlap, dissolve, and evolve.
Back in the studio, these experiences are translated through painted monotypes, working intuitively on circular copper plates using both traditional and experimental methods. She wipes, drags, and reworks the surface, allowing gesture and texture to emerge through the plate's resistance. Through repeated use, the plates become oxidized and worn, a material echo of the landscapes they record. Each work becomes an atmospheric topography shaped by presence, attentiveness, and time.
Anna Wingfield graduated from Goucher College and studied fine art at Goldsmiths University of London, and The Art Students League in New York. She has exhibited in various group shows, at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair, and The Other Art Fair. Anna lives in Los Angeles, CA where she has presented two solo exhibitions, Slow Fade, at Umico Gallery and Colorscapes, at Crescent Tree Gallery in Claremont. Recently, she led an artist workshop at the Benton Museum of Pomona in conjunction with their PST Art Exhibition, Open Sky.
