Anna Kühl worked in Berlin and Lübeck , where she died in 1951. Since 1898 she was a member of the Association of Berlin Artists and Art Friends.

In the 1920s she came to Schwalenberg in the wake of Hans Licht to work as an outdoor painter in the community of the artists' colony established there.

Her work includes landscape pictures that are indebted to the late impressionism of northern Germany. There are also still lifes in her oeuvre, but also portraits. Her pictures were first shown in exhibitions of the Association of Berlin Women Artists in 1898 and 1901. In 1926, in the exhibition Lübeck and Lübeck Artists in the Overbeck Society, a painting of the Israeli oak on Gothmunder Weg can be seen.

Some works can now be found in the Museum of Art and Cultural History of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck, in the Heimatmuseum von Hohenwestedt and in the Robert Koepke House in Schwalenberg.
