About

Anna Finke grew up on a strawberry farm in Northern Minnesota and moved to New York for college. After obtaining a BFA in Dance Performance from SUNY Purchase she interned at Jacob's Pillow and met Merce Cunningham. The company took her in as an intern in 2003, she was was soon-after hired as Wardrobe Supervisor and later added Costume Designer and Company Photographer to her titles. She toured with the company from 2004 to its close in 2011, recording performances, life on the road,  and quiet moments at home in the Westbeth studios. 

The need to preserve, with words and with images, makes her terrified to leave the house without a camera. That desire has extended past Merce days and she now captures all aspects of life and its events.
(Finke currently lives in Minneapolis and also enjoys accounting, plants, and making tiny crafts with yarn and paper.)
