Updates from Anna’s studio

1st October 2025

Hello friends

Spring is in the air! I feel like the year is just flying by and soon it will be Christmas again.

This month I am honoured to be the Book Catalogue role model for the primary programme for Books In Homes. This year Books In Homes is celebrating 25 years and is a wonderful organisation that puts books in schools and homes and inspires reading and imagination in children though out Australia. Check it out @supportbooksinhomes.com.au

I have a new insta shop @annapignatarostudio. Please come visit and follow. I will have lots of new original illustrations, prints and artworks for sale. This is a wonderful way to own affordable and original art. There will be landscapes, little houses, still lifes, botanicals, picture book illustrations, fairytale illustrations, unique characters and animals. Most are small and all postage is included. I will be posting new artworks each week up until Christmas.

WE ARE JUST WORKING ON A REVAMPED SHOP PAGE WILL BE OPEN VERY SOON SO YOU CAN ORDER AND PAY FOR ART, ILLUSTRATIONS AND BOOKS DIRECTLY THROUGH THIS WEBSITE.

My new 2026 botanical calendars, journals and cards will be out and make wonderful stocking fillers!

IN BOOK NEWS

Koala Fairies is OUT NOW and in time for your Christmas shopping.

I am so pleased with my new look-and-find adventure . There is so much for children to look at and discover throughout the pages and there is a little surprise from Cookie and Clover at the end. You can join in making Cookie’s Chockie Bickie pavlova recipe together. Happy days in the kitchen. This book is about friendship, kindness, community and caring. The pavlova makes a delicious treat for the festive season too!

Please contact me on my “contact page” to order a signed copy for Christmas. You get two free gifts in the package.

You can order new calendars, cards and journals too or any other books you would love to have signed.

Feel free to drop me a line just to say hello or if you have queries and requests about collaborations and commissions.
