Who am I?

My name is Anya.

If I had to describe myself in one word it would be...unconventional.

I live my life by the rhythm of the moon, through phases and cycles.

My current HQ is in Brooklyn, NY but I consider my home to be wherever my heart resides at any given moment.

I am an artist and entrepreneur. I run an art community called ARTiculate NYC (articulatenyc.com).

I love solitude, nature, the sun and the moon, exploring, weaving words together, reading, sitting in cafes for hours, singing, dancing, jamming, poetry slamming, meeting like minded conscious human beings, learning foreign languages, stretching my body and mind, studying different cultures, DOING less and BEING more.

My biggest dream is to travel the world and become a polyglot. I have a mission is to inspire others to thrive on a plant based diet.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Small talk is for the birds.
