Anna Warfield (American, b. 1995) is actively making work from her home studio in Upstate New York. An engaged member of the arts community for the last decade, her work is a response to the world around her. Her art takes the form of poetic textual statements made from fabric and most often presented in installation contexts. 

Warfield’s artworks have received juried recognition across New York State including Juror’s Choice at the 2021 Southern Tier Biennial, and Gertrude Herdle Moore and Isabel Herdle Award at the Memorial Art Gallery of Rochester’s 67th Rochester Finger Lakes Exhibition. While the world was on lockdown in 2020, Warfield received a collaborative NEA, NYSCA and NYFA, “Keep New York State Creating” grant to aid in the continued creation of her work during challenging times. In 2019, Warfield graduated from the NYFA/NYSCA Artist as Entrepreneur workshop and was recognized by the Greater Binghamton Chamber of Commerce for her work in the arts and notable impact on the wider community as a young professional with a HYPE Award.  

Warfield holds a B.F.A. and B.S. in Communication both from Cornell University where she has been invited back on a number of occasions to guest lecture. Beyond her personal practice, Warfield aims to engage in creative endeavors that challenge the current climate of the art world with a particular focus on the advancement of women in the arts. She has worked with and on projects with a number of artists and institutions, including Na Chainkua Reindorf, Carrie Mae Weems, Elisabeth Haly Meyer, Anthony Brunelli Fine Arts, Light Work, and Pace Prints.

Since 2020, she has worked as the Production Director for LUMA Projection Arts Festival, and she currently holds a seat on the Advisory Board of The Memory Maker Project, an arts, culture, and advocacy organization that works with people living with memory loss and their loved ones.
