Hello, my name is Anna.

​

I create colorful worlds with my illustrations. I paint happy and whimsical art that tell stories.

I lived in beautiful Alaska, where the winters are long and the summers are short but immensely gorgeous. Now I live in coastal North Carolina, with hot weather, salty beaches, and lots of year-round flowers.

I mostly create in watercolor - I love how independent it is and I enjoy seeing which path it chooses. I add some mixed media when I need to bring in more magic to my illustrations. I create original pieces and it's all hand-painted by me. I don't utilise AI in any of my artwork.

​

I am a self-taught artist, but not exactly. My beginnings in fine art started with beloved Alaskan artist, Don Kolstad and continued with numerous art courses and classes from some of the best artists and illustrators, such as a successful children books illustrator Elina Ellis, surface pattern designer Rachael Taylor, and many others, and in addition- mentorship by fine artist, Tracy Lizotte.

​

I am greatly inspired by the nature around me and by my love for flora and animals.

Please enjoy and send me a message if you would like to collaborate or just say "hi".
