For Anna Chan, art is a conversation with nature. With a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and over two decades in jewelry design, Anna turned to the shorelines of Robert Moses Beach during the 2020 lockdown, where sand and seashells became her canvas. What began as temporary creations — ephemeral sculptures shaped by the tides — has evolved into permanent works that speak to nature’s fragility.

 

Her pieces not only capture the delicate beauty of the natural world but also give voice to endangered species, calling attention to their vanishing presence. Each sculpture is a reflection of time, transformation, and the urgency of preservation, urging viewers to reflect on what is at stake.

 

Anna’s work has been featured in galleries, publications, and partnerships with Amazon Prime Video, Hendrick’s Gin, and Stanford University.
