Anna Margaret Frances Caselberg (née Woollaston, 1942–2004) was a New Zealand painter.
Born in 1942,[1] Caselberg was the daughter of Edith Winifred Woollaston (née Alexander) and the painter Toss Woollaston.[2] She studied at the University of Auckland, spending a year living with Colin McCahon and his family during this time.[2] In 1960 she married poet John Caselberg, who—12 years older than her—was friends with both her father and McCahon.[2][3]
Anna Caselberg worked in oils and watercolour, mostly painting landscapes, and her style is said to show the influences of Colin McCahon and her father.[4] Her work is held in public collections in New Zealand, including those of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa[5] and the Dunedin Public Art Gallery.[1]
Caselberg died of cancer in late 2004, six months after her husband's death, also from cancer.[2] The Caselberg Trust, a charitable trust supporing artists, is named in honour of John and Anna Caselberg.[6]
