Hi, I’m Anna, an illustrator and botanical artist based in Vancouver, Canada. My work is rooted in a deep love for nature and a fascination with the quiet beauty of plants. I find inspiration in the timeless traditions of botanical art and bring that to life through hand-painted watercolor illustrations. Whether I’m painting native wildflowers, wild foods, or the intricate details of medicinal plants, I’m always drawn to the subtle stories they hold.
Watercolor is my medium of choice—it allows me to honor the softness and complexity of the natural world in a way that feels both intimate and expressive. Through my work, I hope to encourage a closer connection with nature and a deeper appreciation for the everyday magic found in the plants around us.
When I’m not in the studio, you’ll likely find me hiking forest trails, sketchbook in hand, soaking up the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and getting to know the local flora up close.
