Now Representing: Anita Skinner

We are very pleased to welcome artist Anita Skinner to Webster Galleries!

 

 

Artist bio: Anita Skinner has loved art since an early age. In university she took painting classes along with two years of art history which gave her insight into the techniques and methods of art-making. Since then, Anita has taken many painting and drawing courses.  She prefers acrylics, and loves to use bright colors to enhance her whimsical style of painting. Her favorite subjects include the Okanagan landscape, which she captures using her own unique interpretation of the natural environment. She also enjoys painting children playing in the snow or picking apples in the Okanagan sunshine.

Anita has exhibited her work in a number of juried shows in the Okanagan, where she has lived for the past 20 years. She continues taking workshops to enhance her skills and is an active member of the Federation of Canadian artists.
