Artist Bio :

Anna Mary Billany (b. 2001, Tyne and Wear) is a visual artist, technician and facilitator based in PINK, Stockport and FACT Liverpool. They are co-director of Caterpillar Press Worker’s Cooperative and a teacher of art in the justice system.
As of September 2026, they will be studying at UAL: Central Saint Martins on the MA Fine Art (Digital) course.

Anna’s research spans new media, self-publishing, and technofeminist inquiry. Their practice explores the unstable boundaries of identity in digital and embodied space, drawing on experiences of masking, dissociation, and the figure of the doppelgänger as both survival strategy and speculative tool. Avatars and world-building are used to create imagined realms that resemble their post-war hometown.

They studied at Sunderland University (Foundation in Art and Design) and Manchester School of Art (BA Hons Illustration with Animation).

Anna is funded by Arts Council England as of May 2026 through National Lottery Project Grants: R&D Funding on their project - Building Adaptive Worlds: Queer, Disabled Approaches to Digital Scenography
