Anna Guillory is an Oklahoma based artist and educator working at the intersection of drawing and illustration. Her practice centers on exploring drawing as a form of embodiment, using observational and intuitive methods to foster a relationship with her built and found environment, and gather any inherent meaning thereof.
She received her BFA in Art Education in 2017, and alongside regional and juried exhibitions in the North Texas area, her work has been exhibited in Lincoln, NE and Seattle, WA. She received her MFA in Drawing from the University of Arkansas in 2026.
She is currently paying attention to depicting woven forms, knots, candles, drops, water, and spirals and how these, together, act as compositions and characters for describing her experience of motherhood, femininity, and interpersonal relationships.
“Drawing is how I think, it is a stream of consciousness made visible - a way of processing what lies between my own experiences of directness and ambiguity. I use graphite to render stylized motifs into collage like compositions inspired by the poetry between everyday objects and rooted in the direct observation of my surrounding environment and home - what I find to be the endless search for beauty and meaning hiding in the mundane.”
