About the Artist: Anita Blythe
Born in 1956, Anita Blythe is an American painter known for her expressive style and intuitive sense of form. Active since the 1970s, she developed her artistic voice through independent study, producing works that balance bold color with an appreciation for everyday beauty.

Though it is rare that Blythe painted in watercolor, early pieces like Capurso(circa 1969) offer a glimpse into her exploratory beginnings. These few watercolors are now considered uncommon examples of her work. She is primarily an oil painter, currently focusing on landscapes rendered en plein air and from her home studio. Her current work emphasizes natural light and atmosphere, reflecting a deep personal connection to place and moment. See less
