Hi, I’m Anna Matos. I’m a multidisciplinary artist passionate about making creativity accessible, fun, and meaningful.
I believe everyone is creative and art should be accessible to everyone. You don’t need to be “an artist” to enjoy making things.
Over the past few years, I’ve been helping people explore their creativity through artistic experiences that combine art, well-being, and experimentation.
My workshops are designed for anyone, whether you’re just curious to try something new or you already enjoy making art. I offer a safe and relaxed space to disconnect from the daily grind, explore new techniques, and rediscover the simple joy of creating something with your own hands.
