Anita Williams – Bio

Nature, movement and color have long been Anita William’s inspiration. Anita seeks to find the magical element in nature, whether it is in trees or flowers, waterways or twisting vines.  She hopes to transfer her sense of beauty to her audience.

Anita grew up in on the New Jersey shore.  She met her husband while living as a young adult in Philadelphia and moved to York County 35 years ago.   She earned her Bachelors in Art Education at Millersville University while raising her two daughters.   Anita taught Art at Spring Grove Area School District for 15 years. While teaching, Anita earned an M.S. in Education from Wilkes University and an MFA in Visual Arts from Wilson College in 2017.

Anita retired from public school teaching in 2019 and has been painting in her studio above the Handsome Cab restaurant in York.  She currently teaches painting at the York Art Association and the Adams County Arts Council.

Anita has participated in many juried exhibitions and won several awards. Highlights include an Award of Excellence at Creative York’s 2024 Adult Juried Exhibition. In 2023 She won the Landscape Award at the Adams County Art Center’s Juried Exhibition.  In 2020 she won an “Award of Excellence” for the Healing Power of Art from Manhattan Arts International won “Best of Show” at the Yorkfest Adult Juried Exhibition.

The Adams County Arts Council is supported
in part by the PA Council on the Arts.
