"As a complete beginner with no formal art instruction, I was nervous about starting, but Anya's Art+Cafe sessions became a highlight of my week. She fosters a warm, welcoming atmosphere where I feel free to explore drawing and painting with acrylics. Anya's generosity—both with her time and spare supplies—is remarkable, and her flexible prompts inspire creativity and experimentation. Our engaging conversations make the time fly by. I’m excited to continue attending these sessions and growing as an artist." - M

Hi, I’m Anya — a passionate artist, creative guide, and founder of Poodle Moth Studio. With a background in graphic design and a lifelong love of creative expression, my work spans across painting, illustration, and mask-making.

I believe everyone has the power to express themselves through art, and my classes are designed to support that journey. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just picking up a brush for the first time, you're welcome. My sessions are all about relaxing, exploring your creativity, and enjoying the process in a welcoming, no-pressure space.

Every project blends creativity, mindfulness, and self-expression. No experience needed—just bring your curiosity!
