About the Instructor: As an avid outdoors-person, Anna Orbovich’s time working and conducting research in the harsh and remote wild places ranging from the Arctic to the Desert to the Superior Hiking Trail in Northern Minnesota have vastly influenced the direction of her work.

In 2020, Orbovich received a MN State Arts Board Artist Initiative Grant in which she brought her studio practice outside while thru-hiking the Superior Hiking Trail in Northern Minnesota. While on trail, she used the process of cyanotypes and rubbings to create imagery for a limited edition artist book. This process and body of work was then featured on PBS’ documentary series “America Outdoors with Baratunde Thurston”.

Orbovich earned an MFA with emphasis in printmaking, drawing and foundry from the University of Minnesota in 2019 and a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art in printmaking and book arts in 2012.

Currently based in St. Paul, MN, Orbovich teaches workshops that emphasize art and nature coexisting alongside continually finding ways to bring her studio practice outdoors.
