Based in Chicago, Anna-Michal Paul is a muralist, chalk artist, and general maker-of-things who finds the magic in faces, spaces, and fleeting moments. From sweeping walls at music venues to tiny, intimate chalk portraits, her work thrives where scale meets storytelling, bold enough to stop you in your tracks, delicate enough to make you lean in closer.

When she’s not making murals, she’s sketching, painting, or imagining new ways to turn ideas into things you can touch (or at least admire). She’s drawn to the unexpected, the human, and the imperfectly beautiful… the things that make you feel something.

North Carolina native Anna-Michal brings her undeniable warmth to the midwest. Intimate and accessible in equal measure. She approaches each project like a conversation: listening, responding, and leaving a trace that’s both playful and thoughtful, a little chaotic, and entirely hers. You’ve likely seen her work all over the city. from chalked surfaces to painted walls, her striking designs demand you stop and stare.
