Floridian Fine Artist and Illustrator creating on Seminole land
Painting Lady
My name is Vanessa Annabella (she/they)
(v.annabella)
Spawned November of 1994 in Kissimmee, Florida, I grew up in a household of oil paint, canvas and rock 'n' roll.
Japanese manga and anime art styles first inspired me to take my hand to paper, with fantasy illustrations and album cover art coming into play later. My work now focuses on human form, occult symbols, ambiance and narrative. My art is expressive, dark and feminine.
