Growing up in Washington, DC within an artistic family, Anissa was exposed to the arts for as long as she could remember. Mostly a self-taught, abstract artist, she studied in Germany in an informal studio class at Bamberg University in early 2000.
Whether it be splashing colors on canvas or words on paper, Anissa strives to capture and preserve the beauty in everyday life. “I am an empath”, she says, my work is emotionally charged. Painting abstracts give me an immense freedom to create from anything.
Though Anissa’s work is done mostly in acrylics, she utilizes a mixture of Mediums to reflect her versatility, interest, and moods.
Her paintings capture the many facets of life–the simplicities and complexities. She will not set up her easel unless there is something that grabs her heart.
