Intergalactic Mistress of Mystery and irredeemable lover of cats.
Anka Yanovna is a multidisciplinary artist working primarily with acrylics to paint strange and otherworldly characters. Each piece serves as a window into the myriad of dimensions that intersect Earth’s reality.
Anka was born in St. Petersburg, Russia and spent her formative years living and working in New York City before establishing her current practice in New England. A professional artist and businesswoman for over ten years, she understands the responsibility and commitment required to deliver quality, creative work, for clients on a deadline.
