About Anna

As long as I can remember I’ve had a pencil or paintbrush in my hand- drawing anything I see in nature. Trying to process it’s beauty.

This love of creating has manifested in many different forms over the years: oil, acrylic, and watercolor painting, wood work, set design, costuming, cake decorating, you name it. I have always identified as an artist and even as a child hoped to make as much of it as possible.

I discovered ceramics in 2019, and now I work and teach at a ceramics studio in Santa Cruz, California. While I have not yet decided if I am brave enough to major in ceramics, I am currently studying it seriously at Cabrillo College

Although my art is my first passion, I’ve chosen to pursue a career around animal welfare advocacy. I am particularly passionate about proper animal husbandry. Particularly overlooked small pets. This a focus that I feel is often reflected in my art.

Though my work contains illustrations of various animals at peace relaxing, I do it from a place of understanding that because of the pet industries focus on profit instead of responsible care, many bunnies never get to experience the feeling of soft fleece under their feet….only metal bars in their hutches that make the cage easier to clean at the end of the week.

For a selection of my rabbit themed crafts, 100% of profits will be donated to The Rabbit Haven in Santa Cruz California, a local shelter I volunteer at regularly that holds adoption events, fosters houseless bunnies, and educates the community on responsible care practices.

Did you know that on average, a domestic rabbit’s lifespan will be cut in HALF if housed outdoors? Or that Female bunnies have an 80% risk of developing reproductive cancer by age 3 if not properly spayed? To help bunnies around the Bay Area live a higher quality life, please consider donating directly to The Rabbit Haven, donate to your own local rabbit rescue, or visit my home page to find the art pieces for my fundraiser :)

Thank you for your business and I hope you love the creative work I present on this site!
