Anna Wallace is a current resident and native of Durham, North Carolina. She holds a BFA in Ceramics from the Cleveland Institute of Art, and an MFA in Studio Art from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She is a practicing ceramics and textile artist and arts educator. The work in Anna’s studio infiltrates, as if the rugs, chairs, and vessels sprouted legs and marched out of the home and into the white box of the gallery. The colors, pattern density, and visual stimulation demand we pay attention.

At Duke Arts, Anna has found her passion in climate advocacy through art and in guiding students in realizing their artistic goals. Outside of work, Anna is mom to a four-year-old and loves to garden and practice yoga.
