About

Anna Pottie is a multidisciplinary artist based in Northern Alberta, Canada whose work spans visual, literary, and media arts. Rooted in experimentation, play, and material exploration, her work often incorporates found imagery and text, upcycled textiles, embellishments, gems, glitter, glow-in-the-dark elements, and illustration. With a background in graphic design, she brings a strong sense of composition, texture, and visual balance to her work. Some pieces are later transformed through photography and digital editing, creating works that exist between analogue and digital spaces.

Influenced by sustainability, nostalgia, and contemporary media culture, Anna’s artistic practice explores the intersections of consumption, technology, memory, and materiality. Through collage, upcycling, and wearable art projects like Millennial Life Crisis Tees, she reimagines discarded and everyday materials as canvases for humour and reflection. Always curious and evolving, Anna continues to explore new materials, techniques, and processes through workshops, experimentation, and hands-on discovery, allowing each project to guide new approaches to making.

Her work has been featured on the cover of the Arts Council Wood Buffalo’s 2025 Annual Report, in NorthWord Literary Magazine, and in local exhibitions including Collective Threads (2025) and Words & Birds Wood Buffalo (2025). Most recently, she crafted a 3D display out of recycled materials on behalf of NorthWord, which was displayed at the Fort McMurray International Airport (June 2026), and is currently guest editor for Issue 34, themed “Nonsense,” set to publish in September 2026. Anna is also actively involved in supporting the local arts and literary community, serving on the Board of Directors for the Northern Canada Collective Society for Writers and Arts Council Wood Buffalo.
