Anna Helgeson is a visual artist, writer, and craft enthusiast interested in the serious absurdity of the human condition.  As a queer, cis gender, white woman raised by hippies she is aware that we all live in a world forged by colonial mythology and wrestles daily to unlearn.

Helgeson currently lives in Asheville, NC with her wife and two cats.  She received a BA from Ripon College, and a MFA (Cum Laude) from the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. She has presented work at venues throughout the United States including the Asheville Art Museum (Asheville, NC), Black Mountain College Museum and Art Center ReHappening (Swannanoa, NC), Work Gallery (Detroit, MI), The Milwaukee Art Museum, Lucky Star Gallery (Milwaukee, WI), MIAD (Milwaukee, WI), University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee Union Gallery, Rose Street Gallery (Burlington, VT), and is featured on the website “Reframing Photography; Theory and Practice” (Routledge Press).
