TheMindsEyeStudio.com was designed to serve as a ‘virtual gallery’ - displaying paintings available for sale by Canadian artist Anita Markert.

Anita's abstract paintings reflect subconscious images given outward expression. The initial version of each piece is created through a process similar to automatic writing in which Anita takes pencil to paper and simply allows her hand to move around the page without consciously directing what's drawn. From the swirling mass of lines that result, Anita is able to discern and accentuate clearly defined shapes and forms that create the subconscious story. The drawing is then smoothed out and perfected until the mass of lines morph into the final image to be painted. Once the image hits canvas, it is painted and re-painted top to bottom a minimum of three times in thin coats of acrylic to give it the smoother, poster-like look and depth of colour desired.
