Anna Bogatin Ott was born 1970 in former Soviet Union (Lugansk, Ukraine).
Prior to coming to the US in 1992, she lived in Russia, Republic of Georgia, Ukraine, and Poland.

She acquired fundamental traditional skills in art schools in Russia and further developed as an artist in the US, receiving following degrees:
BFA (honors) in Painting and Drawing at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia (2002)
MFA in Painting at the San Francisco Art Institute (2006)

Experimenting with diverse media she brings attention to the beauty and order that exist within nature. Her art reflects a belief in the importance of balance between our animal instincts and intellectual aspirations, and explores our eternal longing for freedom and happiness.
Buddhism and the aesthetic philosophy Wabi Sabi that focuses on the transient and intimate beauty found in nature and esteems the purity of natural imperfection have been an important influence. Her visual imagery derives from her experiences in nature, and photographs of nature that she takes on a daily basis. The art making for her is a spiritual activity, that is based on universal values and truths, which are being expressed through the universal language of abstraction
