ABOUT

A resident of Mystic, CT, Anita has enjoyed doing artwork since she was very young. As a child, Anita's family vacationed in Colorado where she and a family friend, John Kirsch, would hike in the mountains in search of locations to sketch and paint. Kirsch had a successful gallery in Estes Park, Colorado. For many years all of Anita's paintings were of the beautiful Rocky Mountains. She also spent much of her spare time doing arts and crafts and taking courses at the Art Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where she grew up.

Anita holds a fine arts degree from the University of Wisconsin. She obtains her inspiration from New England's beautiful homes and gardens as well as its unique shoreline. She also enjoys painting scenes from other countries: Germany, Ireland, Italy and France. Anita's paintings have been described as: “paintings that make me feel happy . . . I feel very peaceful when I look at them . . . the way life ought to be . . . wonderfully soothing colors . . . they make me want to go there.” Part of Anita's art business includes commissions of house portraits. Often the recipients of her portraits try to duplicate the landscaping created by a combination of Anita's imagination and paintbrush.

Paintings by Anita Price can be found at several New England outdoor fine art shows. Her work is included in corporate and private collections throughout the United States.
