How to stay tender-hearted,
despite despite despite…
Essentially, all the work that I do is in Pursuit of Tenderness. It is my antidote for living in this fractured and turbulent world.

F A Q
Is Anna Sibylla your real name?
Anna Sibylla is my artist name. However, my actual first name is also Anna, and my second name starts with the letter 'S'. That is all I have to say about it for now. And YES, I'm inspired by the life and work of 17th-century artist Maria Sibylla Merian, who studied the life of butterflies and the process of Metamorphosis.
