Anna Veedra's Drawing Experiences

Hi! I’m Anna Veedra — a professional life drawing model, artist, and creator based in Brooklyn, NY. I host drawing sessions (both in person and online) and craft digital works that explore storytelling, character, and creative experimentation.

I host all my in-person drawing sessions at Elle Studios Brooklyn, , including my experimental series Model Mad-libs. This session blends life drawing with improv, using prompts and props to create spontaneous, dynamic poses. Each session is unpredictable, fun, and highly collaborative and often involves multiple models posing!

For my online work, I have a soft spot for exploring the intersection of new technology and life drawing— I’ve designed a life drawing studio on Gather.town and incorporate elements like augmented reality and robotic camera movements. I’m passionate about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in online creative experiences.

Beyond my work as a life model, organizer, and creative innovator, I lead an advocacy project called Model Tea (@model.tea).  Through my drawing experiences, I’ve worked to create spaces that embody the values I believe in. My investment in building these spaces comes from a desire to create the kind of environment I once needed — one that was missing, or too sparse, in parts of our industry.

Model Tea grew from that vision — a project to support models as artists and foster creative communities that are vibrant, healthy, and rooted in respect, equity, and reciprocity.

Thank you for your interest in my work! If you feel moved to support my creative or advocacy efforts, there are many ways to get involved: through donations, attending sessions and events, or helping spread the word. Your support and generosity make this work possible.
