Anastasia Pfenning, Los Angeles-based visual artist, has a love for bold colors and positive vibes. Her artwork is often inspired by people, nature, and feeling.
Anastasia enjoys painting using traditional art mediums as well as digital art and customizing plant pots Outside of creating, she loves spending time in nature, camping, hiking, and exploring.
The Bronze Chapter believes Nature and Art exist in the same frame. We created our five donation levels to represent notable African Americans that represent the outdoors in adventurous, courageous, historic, influential, and heroic ways. We commissioned Anastasia to design representational images that reflect the characteristics of each of these historic figures while leaving something to the imagination to encourage our donors to become curious, dig deeper, learn more.
