About Anita

Anita at her workspace

Anita Burbeck’s life is filled with art. Drawing is the first real memory she has of her early childhood. Each day brings new challenges and experiments to further her artistic endeavors. Inspiration can come from something visually stimulating or a musical passage to the written or spoken word.

Anita has numerous certificates of completion of art seminars conducted by renowned artists in their fields. She has her commercial art degree and B.F.A. from Minnesota State University Moorhead (MSUM). She has a hunger for learning, so she continues to pursue further education in the formal arts as well as related fields.

Anita is a member of the FMVA (Fargo Moorhead Visual Artists), and CPSA (Color Pencil Society of America). Anita brought her children up in the SCA (Society of Creative Anachronisms), so she has a special fondness for things medieval, whether it is reproducing paintings or icons or using the correct painting styles and paints for creating hand-calligraphied and illuminated manuscripts, or creating fiber art in an ancient way.
