Ananda St. Barry (b.1984) currently lives and works in New York City. After receiving her B.S in dual Mathematics and Physics, Ananda pivoted wildly to study classical art. In search of a logical system that could help her organize her thoughts, she encountered the work of the students of the Grand Central Atelier and joined their ranks in 2016. She completed the four year program in 2020. Ananda currently teaches online and in-person at the GCA while working on her forthcoming book, Eating Paint.
