Anya has been passionate about drawing and painting since childhood. Inspired by nature, folklore, mythology, and the creatures that inhabit these worlds, her work seeks to evoke emotion and ignite the imagination of those who view it. With a rich history of living and traveling around the world, Anya draws from a variety of life experiences, blending them into her artwork in subtle yet powerful ways.

Currently based in Christchurch, New Zealand, Anya works primarily in pastels and oils, crafting pieces that reflect her deep connection to the natural world and her fascination with storytelling. When not creating art, she enjoys reading books, crocheting, cross-stitching, and caring for her ever-growing collection of plants. She’s also a coffee enthusiast!

In addition to her own artistic practice, Anya has started organizing art workshops to share her love of drawing and creativity with others. Her workshops aim to foster a welcoming space for people to explore their own artistic journeys.

Anya’s art is about more than just creating beautiful images—it's about inspiring others, celebrating nature, and connecting with the stories and wonders that surround us.
