Artist Bio
Anna Yakusheva was born in 1991 in a small village Svetloye, Zaporozhye region, Ukraine. Since 2007 she started to study academic drawing and classical painting at art school.
In 2013, she graduated from Zaporizhzhya National Technical University and received a diploma in interior design.
From 2012 to 2016 she worked in Kiev at SempreArte design studio. Her projects participated in international interior design competitions and were published in well-known magazines. She also painted paintings individually for the interiors of her projects.
In 2016, Anna moved to England. Finding herself in a new country and becoming a mum, she started to explore herself. She developed an interest in the topic of emotional intelligence, psychology, esotericism, and various spiritual practices. She also began to expand her art practice and learn watercolor techniques and book illustration. In parallel, Anna gave individual drawing lessons and created a series of illustrations for children's educational material and for a personal collection of children's books.
A major breakthrough in her creative activity occurred after studying at the Online Art Communication School by Julia Sysalova in 2023: in parallel with perfecting her skills, Anna began to actively pursue the development of her career as a global artist.
She is currently working on her solo autobiographical exhibition "The Path to Inner Freedom".
Her works are in private collections in Great Britain, Germany, Italy, America, Canada, Russia and Ukraine.
