Wings of Joy

Hummingbirds just hold a special place in my heart.

In my newest hummingbird collection, I celebrate the 15 hummingbird species native to North America.

These are our everyday backyard friends who bring us so much joy and companionship.

Laguna Seascapes

This series is inspired by the beautiful soft light of the coastline of Laguna Beach in Southern California. The 16x20” paintings are thickly layered with natural sand and seashells and finished with vibrant oil glazes.

About me

Hi, I am Anja - an oil painter of textured, light-filled works that bridge abstraction and realism.

Inspired by nature, my art explores layers, light, and depth, inviting reflection and connection.

Through tactile materials like raw linen, sand, thick impasto paint, and gold leaf, I create paintings meant to be felt as much as seen—weathered, woven, alive.
