About MeAnita's artwork combines fine art detail with intense tonal colours to convey emotion through abstract realism. Inks and other media are poured onto the canvas and allowed to dry in controlled and random patterns. Paint layers and mark making are applied to produce a work with transparent and opaque layers which invite the viewer to glimpse subtle impressions while appreciating the whole.
The diverse artworks explore themes of the past and the ever changing places and spaces in the landscape, using contemporary figurative forms and still life. Anita's use of colour and line, combined with a natural talent in composition, mean that her paintings appeal to a wide audience. |

Artistic InfluencesAnita's work shows influence from the Expressionists and Fauves, and is inspired by surrent artists Peter Doig, Pam Hawkes, Christian Hook and Chris Gwaltney.
