Anna Marie Tendler is an artist, exploring needlework during the early pandemic and taking exquisite photographs. "rooms in the first house" was one of Tendler's biggest projects, and was inspired by loss during the quarantine. As the Observer noted, her photos are heavily influenced by European Renaissance work, and she uses textures and lamplight to give depth. Her website says that the title is "a reference to the first astrological house — the house of self," and shows "the often non-linear experiences of loss, anger, and powerlessness, as well as a reclamation of identity." In July 2022, Tendler shared on Instagram that she's moving away from this collection, as she's hoping to take the inspiration from that project with her in future work. She regularly posts original photography and showcases her art at galleries online, even selling her work on shirts.
Outside of her professional endeavors, Tendler has opened herself up to love again. As of February 2023, Tendler is dating "buzzy" chef Nicholas Tran, according to Page Six. He runs a popular, trendy new restaurant in New York City called Dark Room. Tendler and Tran went on a trip to Japan, with several of her posts featuring her new boo. On Valentine's Day, Tendler shared a post captioned, "Tokyo in the rain." The gallery of black-and-white photos of the Japanese city featured Tran in two candid shots.
