About

Anita is a watercolour and acrylic painter who was born in Somalia and travelled extensively until settling in Jersey in 1991.

She loves to work in watercolour and as it is so unpredictable you literally need to ‘go with the flow’ and every day brings a new perspective! Anita has turned to painting on local slates, recycled wood and mixed media depicting local points of interest and other works, such as animals and even a vintage car.

Anita is a member of the ‘Genuine Jersey’ brand which celebrates local art and assures both locals and tourists satisfaction that they are acquiring quality produce.
