Hello I’m Anna Markula, the creator of Girl and the Deep Blue Sea. I create unique tropical and ocean-inspired surface pattern designs and illustrations.  I provide seamless surface pattern designs and illustrations to clients including swimwear and fashion brands, and children’s book authors. I greatly enjoy the collaborative process of working with a client to create a custom pattern or artwork. Clients can also licence a repeat surface pattern design from my print library.  I am skilled in using a combination of traditional art techniques and digital illustration, with my favourite materials being watercolour pencils and acrylic paint. My art is vibrant, detailed and realistic and I often use my own photos as a reference or for inspiration. I love to bring fun and beauty to the world through my art, and for my art to encourage a fascination and love for nature.…Hello I’m Anna Markula, the creator of Girl and the Deep Blue Sea.
