Artist Bio
Anna Victoria Pottie is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist based in Wood Buffalo, Alberta, whose practice spans visual, literary, and media arts. Rooted in experimentation, play, and an evolving mix of mediums, her work explores storytelling, perception, and the nuances of human experience through layered compositions and symbolic imagery.
With a background in graphic design, Pottie brings a strong sense of composition, texture, and visual balance to her practice. Her work often incorporates found imagery, upcycled textiles, embellishments, illustration, and mixed media techniques, blending digital and traditional processes. Through collage, textile-based work, and wearable art projects such as Millennial Life Crisis Tees, she reimagines discarded and everyday materials as spaces for humour, reflection, and personal narrative.
Influenced by nostalgia, wordplay, and subtle surrealism, Pottie’s practice embraces experimentation and material exploration while inviting viewers to form their own connections and meanings. Her multidisciplinary approach allows her to move fluidly between forms while maintaining a cohesive interest in texture, symbolism, and visual storytelling.
Pottie’s work has been featured on the cover of the Arts Council Wood Buffalo’s 2025 Annual Report, in NorthWord Literary Magazine, and in exhibitions including Collective Threads (2025). She is currently guest editor for NorthWord Magazine’s Issue 34, themed “Nonsense,” which is set to publish September 2026.
