Ana Zanic was born and educated in Croatia. Since earning her MFA at the University of Zagreb in 2002, Zanic has had over a dozen solo and sixty-plus group shows, in Croatia and the United States(where she moved to in 2003). She has won several awards for her painting and was published four years in a row in the American Art Collector publication.

About her work Zanic says: "For me, making art has always been a search that allowed me to explore the formal visual elements, as well as my personal feelings, through an intuitive, spontaneous process. I paint my watercolors with layers of washes, intermixed with dynamic lines, scribbles and marks of ink drawing. There is often a quiet tension between the watercolor's fluidity, softness and calm, vs. the dynamic, rhythm and energy of drawing. I would say the work emerges from a process that is both controlled and accidental. In this duality I see a metaphor for the duality of life; where certain things can be controlled and others just happen naturally, on their own."

Artist is currently represented by Kathryn Markel Fine Arts in New York.
