Welcome
From my studio in Southern California, I create richly textured oil paintings sculpted with natural materials and thick impasto paint.
My work is inspired by the land, sea, and birds of the American West. Each piece is meant to be both seen and felt—inviting you to pause, breathe, and connect.
Welcome to my online studio. I’m so glad you’re here.
Hummingbird Collections
My new 10” x 10” “Beloved Wings” series celebrates our local hummingbirds with thick impasto texture and luminous oil colors.
Textured Land & Seascapes
In my new collection “Toward New Horizons”, rich textures of sand, seashells, and impasto paint create a three-dimensional depth you can feel—echoing the new paths and quiet beginnings we all move toward.
What Collectors are Saying
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.
Every brushstroke has a voice, every texture a story.
