Anja Yamaji
Creative Workshops was founded by Anja Yamaji, an artist at heart who discovered her love for teaching. Our mission is to inspire, empower, and uplift through the transformative power of art.
Anja’s artistic journey began with brush and canvas, creating expressive acrylic paintings. Her desire to make others feel beautiful, confident, and seen led her into makeup artistry, which sparked her fascination with body painting as a way to transfer her paintings onto the human canvas. To complete her intricate body paint designs, she began crafting elaborate headdresses, seamlessly blending form and function. Later, she discovered resin art while assisting another artist and fell in love with the medium’s distinctive depth and its luxurious, glossy, glass-like finish. Her creative evolution continued with jewelry design and mandala art, each offering a new way to explore color, texture, and meaning. Today, her diverse body of work reflects her passion for pushing boundaries and inspiring others through the transformative power of art.
But in 2013, she discovered her true calling: guiding others in their creative journey. Sharing her passion for art and watching others succeed became her greatest joy. Anja’s mission is to set others up for success, and since then, she has dedicated her life to hosting immersive art experiences that not only ignite creativity but also foster self-expression, connection, and well-being.
Art is therapeutic - it soothes the mind, uplifts the spirit, and empowers the body. Anja brings this belief to every event she hosts, highlighting the often-overlooked benefits of creating. From the calming effects of working with your hands to the powerful energy of colors, especially those tied to the chakras, every detail is thoughtfully crafted to leave a lasting impact and impression.
With past clients ranging from individuals to groups of all sizes, Anja has worked with art enthusiasts, corporations, and communities, helping them connect with their creative side. At Creative Workshops, it’s not just about making art - it’s about making memories that resonate long after the paint dries.
