At Gaia, we believe puzzles are more than just a way to pass the time - they’re a chance to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and enjoy the beauty of the natural world. That’s why we’re so excited to introduce you to one of our favourite artists: Anja Jane.
Anja’s work feels like stepping into a storybook forest - every piece is filled with wonder, warmth, and tiny hidden details that bring the scene to life. Her love for nature shines through in every brushstroke, and her art is a perfect match for our mission: to create planet-friendly puzzles that offer a moment of peace in a busy world.
A creative life in the wilds of British Columbia 🍃
Originally from the UK, Anja now lives on Bowen Island, just off the coast of Vancouver. Surrounded by towering trees, coastal wildlife, and the ever-changing light of the Pacific Northwest, it’s easy to see how the landscape inspires her.
She describes herself as a “forest-dwelling illustrator” - and we love how that energy translates into her art. Her illustrations feel grounded, honest, and deeply connected to the rhythms of the natural world.
Where folklore meets forest 🌲
Anja’s style is a magical blend of Scandinavian folk art, traditional storytelling, and modern nature illustration. Every piece is rich in colour, layered with textures, and often tells a quiet story - of community, wild landscapes, seasonal shifts, or everyday moments made beautiful.
Whether she’s capturing a woodland cabin, a mountain hike, or the simple joy of hanging laundry on a sunny day, her art invites you to pause and take notice of the small things.
A puzzle worth slowing down for 🧩
We’re so proud to feature Anja’s work from Villager Puzzles. Her scenes aren’t just beautiful - they’re full of feeling. As you piece them together, you’ll find yourself sinking into a slower pace, noticing the tiny details, and feeling more connected to the world around you.
