Spook-tacular Surprise

Anna was born in Australia's Snowy Mountains and then spent most of her adult life travelling the world. She is inspired by people and places and worked with these concepts for a long time before embarking on a new career as an illustrator and designer. She loves storms and snow and is happiest running in the mountains, drawing in the streets, or imagining new characters and creating atmospheric worlds.
