Anita Woods is a figurative artist, working mainly in watercolour, and an elected member of the Royal Watercolour Society of Wales.
Anita’s animal paintings are inspired by Celtic tales and legends together with the ever-present music in her studio.
As well as her work being exhibited widely, her paintings have also been selected for the ‘Wales Contemporary’ in 2020, 2022 and 2023.
'I live and work in Mid Wales. I work mainly in watercolour and mixed media but also sometimes in oil. I have a range of prints and cards available locally and I exhibit with The Waterfront Gallery, Milford Haven and in Origin in Carmarthen. I also exhibit with the Royal Watercolour Society of Wales as a member. " - Anita
