ABOUT ANA THE ARTIST
Hi, I am Ana
I’m an independent muralist, fine artist, and designer. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve dreamed of not only making a living as an artist but doing it on my own terms.
At 10 years old, I started teaching myself how to draw portraits—spending hours watching YouTube tutorials and studying technique books. I experimented with different styles, from anime and cartoons to hyper-realistic portraiture. Over time, my passion for realism grew, and in my last three years of high school, I had the opportunity to study under three incredibly talented artists. They helped me refine my skills in hyper-realistic portrait and figure drawing, as well as watercolor, oil, acrylic, and pen-and-ink techniques.
After graduating, I took a break from the everyday routine and moved to New Zealand, where I lived, traveled, and worked as a photographer for two years. While I didn’t paint much during that time, my experience behind the camera sharpened my eye for composition and design—something that would later shape my work as an artist.
In 2020, I officially launched my business after returning to Washington due to COVID. In the beginning, I focused on photography and graphic design while working other jobs to support myself. But on October 11, 2021, I took the leap and went full-time with my art business, achieving my childhood dream of not only creating art for a living but doing it independently.
Since then, my focus has been large-scale murals and brand design, creating bold, meaningful artwork for communities and businesses. I believe public art is a powerful tool for storytelling and connection, capturing the essence of a place—its history, people, and natural surroundings. My work blends research and intuition to ensure each mural reflects the heart of the community it serves.
By engaging with local voices and integrating key historical and natural elements, I create murals that not only beautify spaces but also foster a sense of belonging and cultural appreciation. Through thoughtful composition and bold imagery, my goal is to strengthen community pride, invite exploration, and leave a lasting impression.
