Anna McElheny
Illustrator based in Kansas City, Mo.
Anna's work can often be described as therapeutic and calming. She uses her passion for child therapy to fuel each of her pieces. Whether it be a charming character or a star laced world, Anna focus on incorporating pattern, texture, lighting and three-dimensional visual effects to create a magical experience for all. With every illustration, her goal is to craft a subtly glittering composition that plants a glowing and peaceful response deep within the viewer. Anna's hope is to unlock the childhood magic everyone once believed in and help them realize how alive and tangible it still is today. In a world that can often seem mundane and routine, she strives for her work to leave a lasting impression on the viewer. One that will spark their desire to start seeing the magic that already exists around them. When she is not creating, Anna is working towards her master's degree in counseling psychology with an emphasis on child and adolescent psychology. She aims to eventually be able to use art as therapy in her practice as well as illustrate therapeutic children's books.
