About Anita
Since childhood, it has been drawing and colour that has brought the best out of life and been a constant source of calm, escape and joy..... I love the freedom to create a mood and tell a story, and it brings me immense pleasure when others can share in this experience through my paintings and sketches.
After a two month stay at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, I felt overwhelmed by the endless creative input, experiences and inspirations the great city had to offer. This experience gave me the “courage” to venture and “not to be afraid” or look for positive reaction to my art, but rather be brave and try and give people an idea of what is part of my life and what is enriching my experience of this amazing place we are at.
To me, art is essentially un-academic. Instead, it is the simple joy and life that can be found in it that attracts me. Carpe diem! Joie de vivre!... all these, familiar clichés, to me, become real and meaningful through art.
Painting in oils and sketching in charcoal and pastels really encouraged my self-expression, and I feel this aspect of my art truly came into bloom when I (long since childhood) began using these media as a student of first Marié Stander and then Jeanne Hendriks.
