About

I'm Anna. I paint under the name Astilaart because the work needed its own name to grow into.

I'm interested in the slow things — light through a window in October, the colour of a room you used to live in, faces that look like someone you almost remember. I work mostly in watercolour and mixed media, and I let series take as long as they need.

If you've just moved, or just made a room yours, or you've been quietly looking for "your" artist for a while — I hope something here clicks.

Most of the paintings live in series. You can walk them from the catalog, or start with the pieces on the home page. I don't sell from this site directly; where to buy lists every door.

For commissions, portraits, or a question about a piece, write to kalice871@gmail.com. I take a small number of commissions each year, and we talk first, with no obligation.
