I'm looking to commission an artist and would like to remain anonymous. It's on very short notice and I don't have time to transfer money to my Paypal account from my bank. If I use the card attached to my account, will the artist see the business name on my account or my real name on the card?

The recipient does not see card information. If you’re paying with business PayPal account, your business name on the PayPal will show. However if you include your shipping address on the payment or the seller opts to require shipping address via invoice/payment button or link, it could reveal your name/address.
If physical shipping is not required, send a goods and services payment and click the address menu and select “Address not needed”.
