Anna Katarina Boberg, née Scholander, (3 December 1864 – 27 January 1935) was a Swedish artist married to prominent architect Ferdinand Boberg.
Anna Scholander was the daughter of architect Fredrik Wilhelm Scholander and the granddaughter of Axel Nyström.
Boberg was a person of many artistic pursuits; initially she worked with ceramics and textiles (among other things she created "the Peacock vase" for Rörstrand) and besides painting she also worked with set design and writing, for example.
She was of an artistic family, but never received any formal training in the arts, and is considered an autodidact.
Many of her paintings are of northern Norway, which became Boberg's main focus for many years after a trip there in 1901.
These works were not received very well in Sweden, but did much better in Paris.
Boberg spent a great deal of time in the area near Lofoten in Norway, where she eventually had a cabin, and she made many of those trips on her own.
