Anita Mosher Solich
Originally from Kansas City, Anita first studied art at the Nelson-Atkins Museum when she was six years old. Anita has paintings in her personal art collection from her mother and her maternal grandmother who were both accomplished artists. Anita paints from her Castle Pines studio where she has plenty of animal and landscape inspiration right outside her door. Blending modern insight with old world training and an exceptional sense of color, Anita enjoys painting a variety of subject matter. Anita trained for three years in the Russian school of painting with Don Sahli who was the last protege of Sergei Bongart, who taught in the tradition of the Russian Impressionists. Anita spent two years at the Art Student League of Denver with Jay Moore and Kim Mackey. Anita also spent a year studying classical portraiture with LV Davis at the Boulder Academy of Fine Art. Davis trained for 12 years with Clive Martindale who was John Singer Sargent’s assistant for the last 19 years of his life. Anita’s work has been featured in articles numerous times in Southwest Art magazine including “Artist to Watch” in 2001 and in American Art Collector, Western Art Collector, Art of the West and Vail Art Magazine. Anita is a Founding Emeritus signature member of Plein Air Artists Colorado and a signature member of the National Oil and Acrylic Painter’s Society and the Outdoor Painters Society. “I favor a painterly approach in my work, in which a recognizable form is achieved, while at the same time the paint itself is celebrated and brushstrokes are not only visible but intrinsic to the success of the piece."
