The paintings shown in the galleries are representative of Anita's work; Portrait, Landscape and Still Life. It should be noted that the work is painted from life. This is an important distinction because the subtlety of color changes can only be observed from life.
The landscape paintings are almost all plein air studies, which means they were painted directly outdoors observing the changing quality of light and atmosphere, and capturing the nuance of weather and mood of the landscape. If they are studio painted, they are based off of studies that the artist did outdoors from life. An award winning landscape painter, Anita has painted in France, Italy, England, Canada and most recently Greece.
The highlight of Anita's work is found in her portraits. Having extensive experience painting from live models, she has gained an intuitive and integrated knowledge of the human form. Anita has the remarkable ability to illustrate the character and personality of her subject, achieving not only the likeness but the spirit of the person she is painting.
The study of Still Life Painting is near to the artist's heart. Still life allows for symbolism and storytelling in a profound way. Items in Anita's setups are often chosen not only for their aesthetic appeal, but for their symbolic potential. Harmony within the painting is the mark of an experienced professional, and Anita's still lifes exemplify that mark.
