Hi! I am Anna Bay. 
Visual poet at heart, illustrator by trade. Color craving minimalist, crafting handmade happiness. Striving to be of service by making people feel good since 2009. 
Well, since about 1984 actually, but after getting my bachelor's degree in design, mostly as a freelance illustrator. At first working under my my given and inherited name Anne van den Berg, using pencil and paint. Until 2017, when I notified the chamber of commerce I would, from there on out, be working under the dreamt up name Anna Bay. Following the rediscovery of my love for making tiny 3D objects, light, shadow and reflection. And taking pictures of mesmerizing details, that provide calm in an otherwise overstimulating world. Which led to finding an illustration technique that allows me to combine these nearly forgotten treasures with concepts, self-imposed design rules, colors, paper, tactility and the desire to translate my empathy for anyone into images that everybody understands. The elements that have lured me into illustration in the first place.   
Curious to find out more about me and my work? Look me up on instagram, where I regularly overshare. Or seem to disappear for months on end because I can't find enough time to be my perfectionist self while crafting a post. Which makes the whole thing a masterpiece and/or quite a spotty mess. Whichever way you want to look at it. In any case you can be sure of one thing; if you put me to work, your project will be the thing I'm obsessing over. 
Got an inkling practising my particular brand of magic could help you out with a project? I'd love to read all about it! Prefer to call? I'll probabably pick up the phone, delighted with your call, and ask you to send me an email :-)
Thank you for checking out my work, I hope it put a smile on your face.
