Making the everyday magical

Hi! I’m Astrid, also known as Urban Anna, a self-taught artist passionate about turning everyday architecture into magical, whimsical art. Since 2020, I’ve been illustrating shopfronts, pubs, and other charming buildings with watercolor and pen, drawing inspiration from the beauty of the world around us.

Books

I’m the proud author of three coloring books, Urban Coloring 1, Urban Coloring 2, and From Paris with Love, as well as an art instruction book Urban Drawing, sharing my love for creativity with a global community. With book rights sold in countries like the US, Germany, France, and Japan, my work has traveled far and wide.
