Sasha Anauo is a multimedia illustrator with a desire to work with bold color, detail, pattern, and expressive line. In her digital or painted work, this is often through a painterly build of color and embracing a messy process. Her interests lie in depicting seemingly ordinary environments, interesting lighting scenarios, rendered characters, and other composition explorations. She enjoys working with gouache, ballpoint pen, water-soluble wax pastels, cut paper collage, and digital tools (primarily Photoshop). She received her BFA from Minneapolis College of Art and Design in Spring 2025 with a focus in Illustration and Art History. She has also studied at Renaissance School for the Arts and University of Brighton. She has won one Gold Key and two Silver Keys at the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards.
