Anyta Thomas - Visual Artist


Born and raised in Camden New Jersey, the world of art and I connected at age 3. I grew from learning and drawing from flash cards, to entering competitions in junior high. It was not just drawing that interested me in my teens. I chose to explore the entire gamut. I dabbled in singing, but it was not for me. I danced for 10 years with the Sydney School of Dance, which only enhanced my ability to free myself physically and mentally. I played the trumpet all thru junior high and high school. Through music I had the opportunity to play jazz with my high school ensemble in London. To this day I appreciate all forms of jazz, from Miles Davis, Duke Ellington to Rick Braun, Dave Cos, Chris Boti to Kaiko Matsui. I consider myself and art explorer; a seeker of self expression tools. Poetry is another passion of mine. I have a journal in which I have poems written from age 10 to age 30. It is like recording your life in code. In high school, I new I would be some sort of designer. My choices went from architect, mechanical engineering, to graphic design. Since college and to this day, Graphic Design is my love and profession, but Sculpting has become my passion. My sculptures actually feed from my design knowledge.
