Hi, I’m Anna — artist, creative guide, and Professional Messmaker.
I believe creativity starts with curiosity, and that making something is often more valuable than finishing it.
After years of working in management and personal development, I slowly found my way back to what always lit me up: creating. Being chronically ill played a big role in that shift. It reminded me that making art isn’t just something I do, it’s something that heals me.
These days, I create layered, intuitive work using mixed media, found objects, and inspiration from my surroundings (yes, sometimes I literally glue leaves into my art). I’m not formally trained, but I’m always learning. By playing, by experimenting, by messing up, and starting again.
My creative process isn’t clean or perfect, and that’s exactly what makes it powerful.
I also teach accessible, down-to-earth (online) courses that invite people back into their own creative flow. Not to create masterpieces, but to reconnect with your curiosity, your hands, your ideas, and your joy.
If you’ve ever felt like creativity isn’t for you. Or that you need to be “good” at it first. I’m here to gently prove you wrong.
It’s my mission to help others reconnect with their creativity in ways that feel playful, personal, and free from perfection. So whether you’re here to learn, to be inspired, or to start making again: welcome. Let’s create, together.
