Annika Sophia Roth is a 22-year-old artist and child educator from a small town in eastern Germany. Growing up in a creative family—her father a worship leader and her mother a constant encourager—Annika developed a love for painting, music, and dance from a young age.

After completing five years of training in child education and family care, she now works with families to help create safe and healthy homes for children to grow and thrive.

Alongside this, Annika has embraced her calling as an artist. Her paintings—often created live during worship—are inspired by God’s presence and her personal journey with Him. Through her art, she hopes to bring healing, hope, and life to others, inviting them to encounter the same love that continues to transform her own story.
