Anna Korver is an established New Zealand artist with a BFA in sculpture from the University of Canterbury. Korver works nationally and internationally, exhibiting, attending symposiums and completing commissions.

Korver's new works continue themes of female identity. Her works are autobiographical and use the female figure to communicate her experiences. These abstracted and minimalised forms conceal complex ideas about feminine roles and the projection of the inner self thru the outer form.

New developments in her works include a more masculine nature, developing elements of balance, symmetry and strength.

Anna Korver is a trustee on the board of Eco Artists New Zealand, a charitable trust that uses funds from the sales of art to help environmental projects, specifically focusing on native New Zealand species and their ecosystems.

Anna is also an experienced sculpture tutor in wood, soft stone and hard stone carving with hand tools as well as machine carving. She also tutors life drawing, winterstone sculpture, casting and various other mediums.
