ORIGINAL 3D TEXTURED ART & CREATIVE EXPERIENCES
by Anna Finch, Blue Crush Artist Studio
About Anna Finch
Under the studio Blue Crush Artist, Anna Finch shapes nature-inspired art that you can both see and feel: immersive 3D textured paintings using materials like sand and marble powder, handcrafting her own structural paint to create nature and ocean-scapes over wood, canvas, and glass.
Raised by anthropologist parents and shaped by her half-Australian, half-Korean roots, Anna grew up immersed in diverse cultures and awe-inspiring landscape, from the Great Barrier Reef to the Amazon. In a world increasingly disconnected from nature, Anna’s mission is to bridge the gap and inspire feelings of wonder through art.
