Working in watercolors, oils and acrylic, Anita Gregorski's paintings capture the light and feeling of her subjects. "Watercolor and oil give me the freedom to experiment and my paintings are extensions of my views, feelings and thoughts. The satisfaction and joy I receive from creating a painting is a gift I will always appreciate." "I like to find that bit of nostalgia, record that weathered look, catch the light on fresh fallen snow and the new bloom on the flower from my garden. A paint brush and a few props and a painting gets created."


Anita has studied with Charles Reid, NA, of the Silvermine School, Betty Lou Schlem, AWS, of Rockport, Ma., Serge Hollerback, NA, AWS, of the National Academy of NYC, and Carol Hubbard, AWS. An active member of Art Associations, she has held office and been chairperson of many juried shows. Her work can be seen at the Bethel Arts Junction, Plain Janes, Meriden Arts & Crafts Gallery and Lyme Art Assoc. Gallery.

Local barn and fences, quaint neighborhood homes, flowers from her gardens, New England landscapes, area store fronts and street scenes are among her artworks on display. Anita has lived all her life in Connecticut, and her paintings successfully reflect the colors and atmosphere that are so much a part of this landscape. Many of the barns that she has captured in paintings have disappeared, streets have changed and storefronts modernized. "I like to find that bit of nostalgia, record that weathered look, catch the light on fresh fallen snow and the new bloom on the flower from my garden. A paint brush and a few props and a painting gets created. Some days I wrestle with the paint brush and other days I hang onto the brush as the painting paints itself."
