Financial reasons necessitated a career outside of the art world, and during a successful career of operating her own computer consulting and accounting business, Anita spent any free time painting, studying, teaching and showing her work while establishing herself as an artist.

In 2000, after selling her business, Anita was finally able to devote her time to her true passion, transparent watercolors.  She has and continues to study with many fine and reputable artists.  She is an active member of the Creative Artist Guild, Dunedin, Florida, the Dunedin Fine Arts Center, Florida, the West Pascoe Art Guild, New Pt. Ritchie, Florida, the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour – CSPWC, the Bridge Street Artists at the Station Arts Center, Tillsonburg, Ontario, and the Norfolk ArtsCo, Simcoe, Ontario.

Anita teaches watercolor classes and workshops throughout Southern Ontario and Florida, focusing on her love of vibrant flowers and the beauty of nature in landscapes.

Anita is represented by several galleries, in Florida, Ontario and Whitehorse, Yukon.  Anita’s works are proudly displayed in Corporate and private collections in Canada, US, Ireland, and France and have graced the covers of calendars, catalogs and promotional work.
