Anita Woods R.W.S.W

I am a professional figurative artist, working mainly in watercolour and mixed media, and an elected member of the Royal Watercolour Society of Wales.

I love pushing the boundaries of watercolour using layers and mixed media to see what I can achieve. I feel that I have a lot more to discover yet. Its a journey I haven’t completed. 

My paintings are inspired by my love of animals and landscape, along with Celtic tales and legends, not to forget the ever-present music in my studio. Sometimes a line in a song or a song title will bring an image or feeling to mind. This is usually my starting point. I then start to build the painting. 

As well as my work being exhibited widely, my paintings have also been selected for the ‘Wales Contemporary’ in 2020, 2022 and 2023 and the RCA open in 2024.

Mae Anita Woods yn artist ffigurol cyfrwng cymysg proffesiynol, yn gweithio’n bennaf mewn dyfrliw, ac yn aelod etholedig o Gymdeithas Dyfrliw Frenhinol Cymru. Mae arluniaethau anifeiliaid Anita wedi’i hysbrydoli gan storiau a chwedlau Celtaidd ynghyd a’r gerddoriaeth fythol bresennol yn ei stiwdio. Yn ogystal a’i gwaith yn cael ei arddangos yn eang, mae ei arluniaethau hefyd wedi’i dewis ar gyfer y ‘Wales Contemporary’ yn 2020 a 2022.

Anita lives and works in Ceredigion, Mid Wales. She has a range of prints and cards available locally and exhibits with The Bay Gallery, Aberystwyth, Origin, Carmarthen and in the Tourist Information Centres in Aberaeron and Aberystwyth.
