She was recently awarded a fellowship by the Zellerbach Foundation in support of her new interdisciplinary work. Her recent interests and expertise has been in the intersection of art and science, particularly in aesthetic issues surrounding climate change and water.

The influence of abstraction and abstracting something remains prominent in Anno's practice, with resulting work that remains "open, playful, and engaged with a kind of difficult beauty." Anno collaborates with other artists and musicians, integrating video, sculpture, sound, and interactivity in performative installations. One of her photographs was published in the October 2010 issue of Harper’s Magazine, and she will have a series of photographs published 2011 in the Viz Journal from the University of California, Santa Cruz. She recently exhibited her first multi channel video installation at the Berkeley Art Center in an exhibition titled, Intimate Nature. She also had photography exhibited in Alluring Subversions at CCA. She screened video at Open Restaurant’s “Dinner without Salmon” sponsored by SFMOMA’s live art exhibition program. She has an upcoming exhibition in 2011 at Sky Dive in Houston.
