As an award winning artist, Anitalouise West continues a lifelong career creating and showing her paintings, and yet feels she is at a beginning. Painting in watercolor for fourteen years, Anitalouise has now returned to focus on her first love, oil painting. Using the finest of linen mounted on panels, she paints landscapes on location. Being in tune with the beauty of the outdoors brings a peaceful feeling to her work. Through her use of brilliant color and active brushwork she conveys her love of nature.

The joyful expression of her love of life and art through painting is the essence of her work. She paints jewel-like impressionistic scenes of rural life, colorful gardens and peaceful themes of flowing water. These scenes coupled with vistas of mountains, the California coastline and the great Southwest add variety to her refreshing work

Anitalouise West was originally from Kansas City and moved to Santa Fe in 1993. She has found her new home to be an inspiring and historic journey through the art world. "So many artists have painted here. It truly is a place where you can tap into the stream of other wonderful artists who have painted in Santa Fe.” Anitalouise travels and co-teaches with Albert Handell nationwide. She finds inspiration in the places she visits as well as her Santa Fe home.

For Anitalouise West painting is truly from the heart and versatility best describes her work. Her interest is in many subjects, painted both large and small, 'en plein aire' and in the studio. In addition to oil painting, her focus in the pastel medium adds a unique dimension and attraction to her work. While painting and teaching her passion, Anitalouise has completed another year of work, and wishes to share her vision with you.
