Anna Loy

Anna has been drawn to art since a very young age. In 2019 she began posting her portraits to TikTok for fun. Since then, Anna has achieved over 2.2 Million likes, 60K followers and was headhunted by the Tate Art Gallery to work with their social media team as an artist for the ‘Draw January’ Campaign in 2022. A very successful series of videos that reached over 1 million people! From this, the Liverpool based Output art gallery reached out to Anna to be included in their painting exhibition that was in January 2023. The recognition her art was receiving gave Anna the confidence to apply to the 10th season of Portrait Artist of the Year, which turned out to be such an amazing experience and has inspired Anna go further into a career with art. Anna achieved all of this while completing a Bachelors of Music at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
