Anna Ortiz is a Mexican-American painter based in Brooklyn, New York. Raised in Worcester, Massachusetts, she spent much of her childhood visiting family in Guadalajara, Mexico, where she studied art with her grandfather, a professional portrait painter, and her aunt, a sculptor. These formative experiences continue to inform her work.

She has presented recent solo exhibitions at Steven Zevitas Gallery, MA; Mindy Solomon Gallery, FL; Deanna Evans Projects, NY; and Dinner Gallery, NY. Her work has been exhibited at Hollis Taggart, Monya Rowe Gallery, Johansson Projects, Transmitter Gallery, and Field Projects, among others. Ortiz is the recipient of a 2024 NYFA Fellowship and has attended residencies at Yaddo, the Golden Foundation, CCA Andratx, and the Vermont Studio Center. Her work was featured in New American Paintings in 2025 and has appeared in Artforum, Colossal, Two Coats of Paint, and Artsy. She is the 2025–26 McMillan/Stewart Endowed Chair Fellow at MICA. Ortiz received an MFA in Painting from Tyler School of Art at Temple University, PA.
