Anita Mosher

Biography

Originally from Kansas City, Anita first studied art at the Nelson-Atkins Museum when she was six years old. Anita accumulated her extensive knowledge of the arts initially thru watching her mother in her own art studio. She has paintings in her personal art collection from her maternal grandmother was also an accomplished artist.

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. She studied at the Art Student League of Denver with Jay Moore and Kim Mackey. Anita also spent time 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 has shown in galleries across the western United States in Scottsdale, Santa Fe, Napa, Vail, Kansas City, Jackson Hole and Denver primarily from 1998-2006. She opened and ran a studio-gallery for 16 years in Denver, CO (2002-2018) with 3 artist partners (Kit Hevron Mahoney, John K. Harrell and Kelly Berger) and as a result reduced her outside gallery representation because of focus on her gallery and lack of inventory for other galleries. The partners closed the gallery in May of 2018 and Anita has been blessed to have continued painting many commissions and participating in select shows.

Anita paints in her Castle Rock, CO studio and her 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. She is a Founding Emeritus member of Plein Air Artists Colorado and a Signature Member of the National Oil and Acrylic Painter’s Society and the Outdoor Painters Society.
