Anna Jóelsdóttir(b. 1947) is an artist of Icelandic heritage, now based in Chicago[1] She studied in Reykjavik and at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she received an MFA in 2002.[2] Chicago Art Magazine describes Joelsdottir's work in that it has "a whimsical, illustrative quality, but with the movement and vibrancy of sound. Manipulation of the paper transforms her drawings into sculpture, books, and larger than life installations. In the third dimension she is able to play with the interconnected tensions between negative and positive spaces, light and shadow, and the fragility and durability of her material."[3]
