anna

I cheerfully introduce myself; I am Anna Shidler, artist (not yet full time). I can't say that I have identified with any specific style, I simply paint what draws me in. It can be a feeling, a very specific scene of a movie/show, some lyrics to a song, anything!

I really enjoy painting fiction characters like anime, video game, cartoons, etc. I suppose this is because of the boldness and expressiveness in those art styles. Trust me, with every layer of paint I put on canvas I can't say I know what I am doing but I can say it feels right. You follow that feeling, you know? It's instinct and it draws you in. 

People portraits have also become a favorite method of torture for me. As you may have seen, I don't have many and am building up my portfolio. I feel comfortable and confident with wedding portraits and I hope that shows in the ones here. 

I put my all into each painting I do and am very excited to be able to share this with you.
