Anna Child is a Baltimore-based artist working in painting and works on paper. Her work centers on abstraction, emphasizing structure, scale, and the behavior of color. Through spatial tension, layered surfaces, and visible joins, her paintings examine instability and order within the pictorial field.

Child holds a BA in Anthropology from Kenyon College and has pursued continuing study at the New York Studio School and the Maryland Institute College of Art. She was a Core Fellow at the Penland School of Craft. Her work has been supported by Maryland State Arts Council grants and residencies including Woodstock Byrdcliffe, Vermont Studio Center, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, Chalk Hill, and Jentel. In 2025, PS Marlowe Fine Art Publishers released a suite of her monotypes, printed by Phil Sanders.
