Meet Your instructor:
Anna Lassonde is an artist, illustrator, and art educator and the heart behind Jollybird Studio. She works in watercolor, acrylic, drawing, clay, and mixed media, creating art inspired by animals, nature, and everyday connection. She’s especially known for her pet portraits, which focus on personality, expression, and a sense of warmth and whimsy. Since starting her art business in 2019, Anna has illustrated children’s books, painted murals, and taught art to all ages. She believes art should feel welcoming and accessible, and her goal is simple: to make work that brings a little joy, tells a story, and helps people feel connected.
