About the Artist
Anna Stoysich is a potter and painter who was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, and now lives nearby in the Loess Hills of Malvern, Iowa. She graduated from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln in 2002 with a BFA and an emphasis in ceramics. She spent the following 14 years working in the United States and abroad. She was an artist in residence at the Archie Bray Foundation and Watershed, a studio assistant at Penland School of Craft and apprenticed to wood fired ceramicist, Chris Gustin, in South Dartmouth, MA. She also was a Montessori teacher in rural North Carolina and Mexico and later became a caretaker for her grandfather on the family farm in southwest Iowa.
In 2016, Anna began to work in clay again after not touching it for nine years. Anna actively exhibits her work and recently painted a mural in Malvern. She has received numerous awards and grants including two from the Iowa Arts Council. Together with her young son and artist husband, Jorge Colorado, she creates from their home studio.
