Anna Friedland is an artist and designer based near Yosemite. She currently offers brand consulting, illustration, and graphic design services: website building, logo design, and brochures/flyers.

Anna Friedland grew up in an artistic household with a sculptor mother and a theatre artist father and began drawing and painting from a very young age. She received her formal training at San Francisco State University, getting a B.A. in Art with an emphasis in drawing and painting.

As a way to contribute to her community, Friedland started doing design work professionally in 2010. A couple years later she began working for the Mariposa County Arts Council and for several years she taught art, coordinated art programs, and honed her skills as a visual communicator. In April 2017, Friedland became a full-time artist and graphic designer. 

In April 2023, Friedland started Foothill Arts + Lectures, a program in which local artists give monthly one-hour talks at the Mariposa Library. This program was developed to reconnect members of our community, honor our elder artists, celebrate artists’ accomplishments, highlight our local artists, and bring enriching perspectives and stories into our lives. This program is hosted and supported by the Mariposa County Library.
