Anna Mecha, Oil Painter

Anna Mecha, Artist
Anna Mecha was born in Vietnam, the daughter of an Army Captain in the former Republic of South Vietnam.  She was interested in drawing from a young age but the war and the resulting political changes adversely affected her ability to pursue an Art education. After her father was released from being held as a Prisoner of War, her family immigrated to the United States in January of 1994. Her first goal was to obtain a degree and a professional business position.

With a degree in Accounting, she currently works full-time as a Banking Credit Analyst. Now, she is seeking to fulfill her dream of becoming a professional Artist. She started her first painting class at Richland College in Fall 2006 and have since been attending several drawing and painting courses within the Dallas County Community College District.  She is a member of Phi Theta Kappa and certified Who’s Who Among Students in American Junior College.

She currently reside in North Texas with her husband.
