Anna Nazaretz Radjou is a mixed media fiber artist and graphic designer based in Arlington, VA. She holds a BFA in Illustration from the Maryland Institute College of Art and has exhibited widely across the Washington, DC region. Her bold, textured works combine hand-dyed fabric, printmaking, painting, and hand embroidery to explore themes of identity, connection, and self-empowerment. In addition to being a resident artist at the Workhouse Arts Center, she serves as Branding Director for the Arlington Artists Alliance and is active at the Torpedo Factory Art Center.​​​​​

Artist Statement

My work blends fiber, illustration, and design into vibrant, hand-stitched compositions that balance playfulness with depth. Influenced by early exposure to global textiles and the bold aesthetics of the 1970s and 80s, I combine many different media with fabric and embroidery to create richly layered surfaces. Stitching provides a meditative process of calm and reflection, while symbolizing care and resilience. Rooted in questions of cultural identity and belonging, my art often explores the in-between spaces of personal history. I hope viewers are drawn in by color and pattern, then invited to pause, reflect, and find intimacy in each thread.​​
