Hey Anna Strong
I’m a visual artist and potter whose products include hand-drawn originals and prints, stickers, and pottery in a unique style that translates similarly between mediums. My primary purpose in participating in markets and events is to inspire others to connect with their own creativity and find the beauty in everyday life through in-person connection – I believe this is what strengthens communities.
Sunny Designs
