Although I’ve known Anita for a number of years, she and her art had slipped from my old mind. I met her again at a social event, and suddenly I recalled what a wonderful artist she is. Thanks, Anita, for agreeing to be part of oldartguy.com.

Anita resides in Bryan, Texas, with her professor husband and five precocious felines.
“My work is characterized by the use of strong contrasts between light and dark and vibrant colors. I hope to convey a sense of drama and passion in my work.
“Watercolor is the perfect medium for me as its transparency allows the gradual buildup of color to create luminous and three-dimensional effects.
“Hopefully the viewer will experience as much joy and excitement in my work as I did in its creation.”
