Anita Singh

I am inspired by the natural world. I strive to give the observer a cache of visual representations that convey a symbiotic cycle found in nature. The natural world for me comprises of elements that form distinct and perceptible patterns. Both ordered and chaotic in structure, these patterns embody elements of time, space and chance. The organization and layering of these patterns generates inner structures that form the basis of my work.

I was born in Guyana, South America with a Russian and Indo-Caribbean bloodline. Grew up in Montreal and Toronto where I studied graphic design and printmaking. Lived in British Columbia for 10 years, where I worked as a graphic designer and visual artist and began learning about clay. In 1997 I lived in upstate New York for one year, where I did an internship in bookarts, papermaking and printmaking. I also lived in England for one year, where I did an apprenticeship in letterpress printing and various bindings techniques. I have travelled extensively through Canada and the USA. During a cross Canada trip in 1999, I discovered and fell in love with Newfoundland. I now Live with my husband and teenage son in downtown St. John’s, where I work as a printmaker and ceramic artist.
