My name is Anika and I am a writer and a visual practitioner. I grew up on Vancouver Island, spent most of my adult life in East Vancouver, and currently call Santa Cruz, Bolivia home. I love words and images, especially when they’re found together. It’s no surprise, then, that I wrote an illustrated book called Becoming Neighbours and worked for three years as a ‘graphic recorder.’ Currently I am exploring the new calling of motherhood…and doing so in a cross-cultural landscape. I live with my husband Andrew and our daughter Lydia as guests on the on the territories of the Guarayo, Paiconeca, Chiquitano, Ayoreo, and Guaraní peoples… with deep gratitude.
