Name: Anita Wolff,
PSA
Bio: Anita Wolff was born in California,
and has been receiving awards for her paintings since 1962. Inspired by the early French impressionists
and the glowing emotional expression of Van Gogh, she grew to maturity in
Southern California, an area saturated with the bold color and plein aire
philosophy of the early California Impressionists. Anita's paintings are in
many collections in the United States and throughout the world. Her first
experience in plein air painting happened in Palo Verdes, with a group of
watercolorists. She eschewed that medium for oils and pastel. With some
friends, she decided to paint throughout Southern California. This later became
serious painting from Palm Springs and Capistrano to New Mexico, Oregon, Texas,
Mexico, New England, France, Scotland, Italy, Moorea and Tahiti.
Anita has studied with a serious galaxy of
artists, including Sergei Bongart, Robert Brackman, Frederic Taubes, Rex
Brandt, Herman Margulies, Ben Konis, Bentley Schaad, Ken Paine, Dorothy
Colles, Thomas J. Coates, Roy Freer, Leigh Perry and Aubrey Phillips. Her
awards and memberships are too numerous to list here. Suffice it to say that
she was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts in 2001.
A book of her paintings, Adventure in
Color: The Impressionism of Anita Wolff authored by Suzanne Blaney, is
