I’m always in search of new ways to express myself, constantly exploring and evolving my style. My work is all about embracing the messiness of life, letting colors guide me, and making each brushstroke feel fresh and spontaneous. It’s not about perfection—it’s about feeling. Whether it’s the way light and shadow play off each other or how I use color to bring warmth and energy into a piece, I’m always exploring.

Starting my art business was a dream come true. At 37, I’m living a life I’ve always wanted, full of paint and creativity. I spent two years in art school and now, as a full-time artist, I’m finally listening to that little voice I had as a kid—the one that loved drawing made-up animals—and the one I had as a teenager, painting big, emotional expressionist pieces.

A few fun facts about me: I’m left-handed, I’ve never owned a car, and I’m a trained pastry chef. I’ve always wanted both a cat and a dog, though I have neither, so there’s that on the wish list!

Ultimately, my art is about celebrating freedom and playfulness. Every painting is an adventure—sometimes vulnerable, sometimes vibrant, but always full of life. I hope my work brings a little joy, brightness, and warmth to whoever sees it. Thanks for following along!

Hi there, I’m Anna (she/her) — a Swedish artist and illustrator living in Stockholm with my husband and our two kids. Creativity has always been my thing; my grandmother taught me how to paint when I was about four years old, and I haven’t stopped since!

VALUES BY ANNA SIENNA

What I stand for

I try to use as little as possible, both professionally and privately. I reuse materials whenever I can and recycle everything else! I kindly encourage you to do the same.

My cardboard mailers are made from 100% recycled materials and my envelopes are marked with the Nordic Eco Label. If your order contains bubblewrap, it’s always reused.

If you have any questions about my materials, feel free to send me an email.

Kindness to the environment

I stand for equal rights, always.

Rights for the LGBTQIA+ community, rights for immigrants, reproductive freedom and all human rights declared by the UN.

Kindness to each other

We all deserve to be treated with kindness, but we sometimes forget to be kind to ourselves.

I’ve got HSP, a Highly Sensitive Personality (which is not a diagnosis but a personality trait) and I know first hand how important mental health is.

Kindness to ourselves
