1978 Self-Portrait

An artist is the culmination of all their stories and lived experiences.

These moments inform the artist’s work and color their lens. A long life spent in observation gifted Anita unrivaled compassion for her subjects, friends, students, loved ones and herself.

She translates these moments onto paper for the viewer to be engulfed by feeling.

Anita is a documentary drawer, storyteller, teacher, illustrator, and life-long artist. Her use of text and quick gestures exude vibrant energy.

Her work is about moments, memory, and beauty, with reflection on inner and outer journeys.

Observation and reflection are the beginning of Anita’s process; she sees, translates, and paints.

She paints through life’s challenges, knowing “nothing is so scary you can’t draw it.”

Anita draws on reminders that laughter is a gift, making unexpected humor a major part of her work.

Pure joy is palpable.

Documenting recent immigration court trials has garnished Anita public recognition for her illustrations of a disparate system.

The Immigration Court Observation Project in collaboration with The Advocates for Human Rights recognized Anita for her works detailing the harrowing stories of families and people in transition through America’s immigration system.

Caretaking for family, life abroad, bodies of water, flowers, and philosophical musings have been continued themes in Anita’s work.

Anita spent long stretches of time in far-off locals like the British Isles, Aran Islands, Mexico, Romania, Laguna Beach, and Berkley. These new places expanded her vision for life.

Anita began Amaranth Art Studio to host amateur artists and community members of all levels who wish to explore their creative abilities.

Anita loves connecting with her students and encouraging them to try new techniques and take risks in art making.
