Anita Revel is an emerging artist based in Western Australia. Her arts practice is underpinned by pattern and movement, and features ethereal backgrounds, whimsical vignettes and evocative, colourful abstracts. Working mainly in acrylics, Anita also diversifies her work by creating vivid murals, quirky installations and oversized dreamcatchers.
Her motto is: expressive, colourful, delightful, repeat.
