Anna Barlett is a colorful, modern artist who lives in a long house on a foggy mountain top in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. Having always loved to draw and paint, she made and sold hand-painted handbags for three years (more than 500 were sold), which helped her learn how to paint very quickly.
Anna's superpower is making things simple. She started Shiny Happy Art in 2003 and has built a solid blog following. She rolled out the paint-along side of Shiny Happy Art in December 2011. Since then she has welcomed more than 500 people to paint in her studio, with her painting sessions selling out months in advance.
Anna is also the Marketing and Development Manager at Downlands College.
