Anya Shcherban

Art Director, Artist, and Filmmaker in Sydney, Australia

I am a freelance production designer, concept/storyboard artist, and filmmaker currently living in Sydney, Australia. My interests include various forms of art from digital painting and animation to prop making and set building.

I studied Fine Arts in Melbourne starting in 2011 and began doing concept artwork for films which inspired me to pursue film work in the art department. I have worked extensively in various film roles and continue to produce concept artwork and storyboards for film productions and advertising agencies. In my downtime, I like to draw for myself and hold exhibitions. I use various mediums to create my artwork, with digital being my favourite. My greatest influences when it comes to the stye of my artworks would be from graphic novels, japanese ink painting and old Russian folktale illustrations, I am a fan of artists such as Ivan Bilibin, Brett Helquist and Fiona Staples.

I was born in Kiev, Ukraine and grew up all over the world, having spent most of my life in Asia, Europe and North America and eventually settling in Australia. I am multilingual and enjoy nothing more than going back to my roots and reading Russian literature.
