Anita is know for her pastel landscapes. Her paintings are inspired by what she observes in nature. They beckon the viewer to come closer, to go in and take a journey to a place or time perhaps forgotten, or to simply enjoy the beauty of the scene. She speaks through her art.

At the age of 50 she and her husband moved to the High Desert north of Los of Los Angeles where she was immediately struck with the open expanses of sky and land. Along with that, she was overcome by an urge to create. She soon enrolled in art classes in a community college and began showing locally while still holding on to her day job as a buyer for one of the major aerospace conglomerates. It wasn t long before she got into galleries in Taos, New Mexico and San Francisco, Wrightwood and Encino California along with being the house artist of the Antelope Valley Winery.

After moving to Coarsegold, California she became internationally known by having a feature article in International Artist and the Pastel journal. Anita is once again published in the book Best of America Pastel Artists vol II.

Anita is currently represented by Timberline Gallery in Oakhurst, California and she teaches and shows her works at her home studio in Coarsegold.

"A little break from the everyday, a little pause, a moment of reflection, a moment of complete peace and serenity to myself and to the viewer. This is my commitment."
