Style and Aesthetic
Anna’s portfolio features detailed, layered botanical designs. They are refined and ornamental, inspired by art history and botanical illustration. The palette leans toward earthy, natural tones, shaped by the four seasons in Finland, with colour accents picked up from her travels. Dusty blue, dusty pink, sage green and cream come back often. The work feels timeless and elegant.
Techniques and Tools
Anna has a background in art history, design and ceramics, and her work is inspired by ornamental and historical pattern traditions. Every design starts as a hand-drawn or painted sketch, which gives the patterns a personal, handmade feeling. She works with pencils, fineliners and watercolor, and sometimes draws digitally on an iPad. She finishes the patterns digitally in Illustrator and Photoshop.
