About me

Hi there, my name's Anna Cartelli. I'm an undergraduate currently working toward a bachelor's degree in fine arts with a focus in Illustration.
I've always been drawn to art—whether it's admiring others' work or creating my own. Learning from experts in their craft has been the highlight of my academic journey so far, and I'm eager to keep growing.

Looking back at how much I’ve developed as an artist fills me with pride and motivates me to keep improving. I'm excited to continue my journey at the University of Hartford and to complete my degree.

While acrylic gouache is my go-to medium, I love experimenting with different materials and tools to bring depth and texture to my finished work.

In addition to painting, I work as a freelance illustrator. My illustrations are created traditionally with ink, graphite, markers, or colored pencils on paper.

Please feel free to browse the gallery to see some of my recent work. If you're interested in commissioning a piece — even if it's different from what's listed — I’d love to hear your ideas and help bring them to life. I'm always open to creative collaborations with fellow artists and art enthusiasts.
