Anna Toberman is an American portrait and figurative artist working in the Chicago area. She graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia, trained as a print journalist and as an artist. Combining these disciplines to become a graphic designer, she founded her own company in 1997 and continued to draw and paint. Anna made a commitment to elevating her art skills by studying with master artists so that she could realize her creative vision - a realistic style that expresses more than accurate representation. She works with patrons who commission portraits as family heirlooms, and she also creates personal works that reflect an interest in the human condition and spiritual development.
