Anna Charney's murals are meant to bend the mind.
The intrigue: Her style is "abstract pattern work that has some natural inspired elements to it. A lot of colors and flowing compositions … within the abstract psychedelic landscape," she tells us.
State of play: Charney, 30, is one of the 17 artists participating in the Denver Walls event this week and is working on a mural at the Flora building. True to the building's name, it's a nature inspired design.
Born and raised in Denver, she started in traditional art settings and moved to mural painting when she finished a bachelor's in fine arts in Chicago.
Now she's painting internationally.
What she's saying: "I love the physical feeling of spray paint, [the ability to] move around with our bodies and dance with our creations … and also interactions with the public," she says. "It's really, really powerful as an artist."

📍 Favorite place in Denver: Sloan's Lake. "You can see the mountains and you can see the city."
