Anna Stead

Fairytale Phone Covers

Anna is an illustrator working from her cozy home in the gorgeous North Cotswolds. She finds endless inspiration in nature, legends, history, folklore, literature, folk art, and all things mythic. With a background in medieval studies and a deep love for fantasy literature, Anna’s art feels like it’s stepped right out of a storybook. You’ll often find her with a cat curled up in her lap, sketching on her iPad, or getting completely lost in a video game (it’s called research, okay?).

Anna’s big dream is to illustrate books filled with fairytales, myths, or legends—and if she could collaborate with one of her favorite authors, well, she might just faint from excitement (but in a professional way).

When she’s not drawing, Anna loves to write, embroider, explore the outdoors, wander through museums, binge-watch a great show, or take her kids on magical little adventures. Life’s all about finding the stories, after all!
