About Anna Ladawan Levine
Anna Ladawan Levine works primarily in oil paint to explore the relationships between women and their surroundings. She received an AB from Smith College and is pursuing an MFA in Drawing and Painting from UMass Dartmouth. In 2024, she was an artist in residence in Kyushu, Japan. Over the past three years as a graduate student, Levine has been most engaged in using her visual expression to examine and celebrate the fluidity and facets of being a woman in early adulthood in the 2020s.
Statement
Womanhood encompasses many identities, crossing over into cultural and physical contexts. I take my own experience identifying as a woman into account in my work, referencing bodies and place- specific connections through drawings and paintings observed from life.
It is especially important for my viewers to understand the many multitudes of one’s character, whether that be recognized as a tranquil state of mind or a silly sense of humor.
