Illustrator Anja Jane creates unique Pacific West Coast-inspired art pieces—and we’re in love! We chatted with Anja about her decidedly local work, and are giving you a chance to win some of her from-the-heart art! —Vita Daily
Hi Anja! What type of art do you do?
I create beautiful illustrated worlds that are rich in nature. Joyful scenes capturing the magical places I visit near my home on the Pacific North West.
What does the creative process look like for you?
All my inspiration comes from immersing myself in nature. I see something that sparks an idea. The way the bees buzz in an alpine meadow or the bright yellow leaves of larches against a blue sky. The ideas bubble inside of me on a hike or when I’m kayaking and I feel as if I am going to burst until I can translate it onto paper when I get home. Movement helps me keep the energy in my body flowing so I like to dance, hike, work with my body energetically through a kundalini practice. Meditating and being in nature creates space in my mind. This is the space and flow I believe I create from.
As an artist, what inspires you?
I remember creating my first art piece when I arrived in Vancouver. It was “Pink House” and was inspired from walking around my neighbourhood in Kitsilano. I loved how the gardens blended into sidewalks. The abundance and colours of spring were so vibrant compared to back home in London. I was literally falling in love with the city, so giddy! I felt nourished having a greater connection to nature with the breathtaking wilderness that surrounds us here in Vancouver.
What are you working on now?
I am working on an interactive art piece for an organization dedicated to caribou recovery through conservation breeding. The art piece highlights endangered flora and fauna in B.C. I was shocked to learn from the Narwhal that a province that markets itself as Super, Natural, B.C. has more than 2,000 species of animals and plants are at risk of disappearing—and still has no endangered species law. For every 10 prints sold, one will be donating to a school for children to learn and become passionate about saving the amazing plants and wildlife that make B.C. so incredible!
Through the pandemic I have been really missing community groups and the connections these bring. I started a sacred sunrise group here in Vancouver we meet on the beach every week at sunrise and dance. I believe being present to the rhythms of nature makes us awake to its destruction so we can be warriors fighting to protect mother earth. We start the ceremony by creating a sacred medicine wheel altar with the four directions. Acknowledging that we are gathered on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples. We cultivate a deep gratitude to be on this beautiful abundant land. As well as this I created an Indigenous book club. It was here I came across Sacred Earth Solar who empower front line Indigenous communities with renewable energy. Sacred Earth Solar also works with Tiny House Warriors in their fight against Trans Mountain Pipeline man camps. These work camps bring thousands of temporary workers to small communities, increasing violence against women, drug, and alcohol abuse to Indigenous communities. All donations from sacred sunrise go toward this cause.
Win! An Anja Jane Prize Pack!
We have a winner! Congrats Claire B. of Vancouver, who will receive a special Anja Jane prize, including an illustrated card deck showcasing local hikes and popular spots and a print of their choice!

There can be a mystery to sales at thhe earliest stages of a startup.
Wise counsel on building a strong sales deck or designing sales onboarding exists, but whrn it’s just an impassioned founder or salesperson drumming up leads pre-launch,
advice is often ambiguous and reduced to flexing a “go get ‘em” attitude.
It’s enthusiasm for an idea that’ll engage your early customers, but this isn’t uncharted territory without tested
tactics for growth.

Each level of money (unless you improve financial debt pay for) needs letting go of

Together with Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke, he obtained kept Wall

funds. Even so the banking institutions ended up hardly financing, plus the
economic system was continue to mired in higher joblessness.
And after this, in December 2009, the vacation reports got begun to filtering system out
of the canyons of cheaper Manhattan: Wall Street’s 12 months-conclusion bonus items would really be bigger during 2009 than they had been in 2007, the

explained within a White House achieving that December.
And they’re prosperous only for the reason that we
rescued them., “These folks are reserving report add-ons due to the fact they’re money-making” It was actually
as though absolutely nothing had transformed. Even with a Depression-measurement accident, the

Depending on a 2012 National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) investigation [go through the picture previously for the full infographic], 79% of small enterprises employed plastic cards to start or grow their organization. That says
considerably about the need for utilizing
charge cards to capitalize a small company.Depending on one other analysis (PDF) carried out by Keybridge Research, the utilization of business cards to begin with or expand your small business has
great results over the business plus the economy overall.
The research discovered that the increase of visa or mastercard financing among 2003 and 2008 led to
the development of 1.6 thousand jobs as well as
every $1,000 of economic visa or mastercard use, a $5,500 development of
earnings was gone through by the little company.The end result is that about 4
out of 5 small businesses proprietors will be working with bank cards.Founders of Google, Larry Page and
Sergey Brin, made it happen in the early days. Many other prosperous business owners have done it as well.
It’s like anything in that, you can utilize bank cards the
correct way and the incorrect way. So, program this just like you do your small business.I love what T.
Boone Pickens states that about preparing. He was quoted saying: “A system with out motion isn’t an idea. It’s a talk.”
Don’t produce a talk about employing a credit card, generate a approach.
Places like NCH and Lendio Capital help a lot of economic masters learn to use small business bank cards to build their corporations.Microloans

To summarise the report is actually to repeat what we are very
mindful – most of us usually are not rich enough for retirement.
Ros Altmann blamed the Bank of England’s quantitative
easing programme for forcing annuity rates down, suggesting that above one million pension annuities happen to be sold at lower levels due
to Bank of England’s QE programme. In a free market, this then creates a middle class and upper middle class that will serve because back bone associated with a government social
policy.
