Ana Popescu (b. 1988) is a Romanian-American, multi-disciplinary artist currently living in Providence, Rhode Island. After receiving her BFA from Pratt Institute, Ana co-founded an immersive underground event company in NYC where, under the moniker A.Pop, she designed and produced site-specific art installations, and curated a roster of local performance artists for each thematic event. 

She continued to grow her production career from there, leading large-scale, high-profile branded productions across the US for various prominent advertising agencies based in NYC. 

One positive outcome of the pandemic was the opportunity for Ana to focus more deeply on her fine art practice. She earned the Friends of Arrowmont Scholarship and the Trudy and Henry Gillette Sculpture Scholarship for the 148th Regular Session at the Art Students League of New York in 2022. In 2023, she completed a residency at the Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts, followed by the Anderson Ranch Scholarship in 2024. Ana received her MFA in Ceramics from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2025, where she was awarded the RISD Fellowship, the Windgate Foundation Scholarship, the RISD Graduate Ceramic Award, and the Graduate Ceramic Residency. She has exhibited her work in over two dozen exhibitions across New York City, Bucharest, and Providence, Rhode Island.
