Anna Magruder Art & Illustration is our In-Kind Blue Ribbon Sponsor. Anna Magruder is a Portland, Oregon painter working in oils and acrylics. Her favorite subjects are people and animals and whatever lies between. Drifting between realism and surrealism, she loves recreating vintage America, re-imagining the lives and stories of the characters on canvas or just exploring the emotional color of faces.
In 2012 Anna was a featured artist on Oregon Art Beat — OPB’s Emmy Award-winning local arts series. She is a recipient of a 2014 RACC grant for her “Oregon’s Painted History” series, and in 2015 was honored with a three-month artist residency at the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation in Taos. Her art appears in numerous publications and private collections.
