Anda Tanaka is a Minnesota-based artist and educator working primarily in printmaking and drawing. Through quiet observation and appreciation of annual seasons and daily rituals, she creates an abstract visual language that speaks to the repetitive, cyclical nature of domestic life. Anda holds a BA in music and studio art from St. Olaf College, an MFA from Minneapolis College of Art and Design, and has completed a two-year Printing Apprenticeship with Highpoint Editions at Highpoint Center for Printmaking. She is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of Drawing and Printmaking at St. Olaf College. When not in the studio, you can find Anda outside cycling, running, cross country skiing, open water swimming, or walking her cats, Triskit and Millie.
