Anya Getter: Mixed Media

Published: July 14, 2017

Dreams… Colors… Thoughts… Feelings

On exhibit at Connection: Crystal City, June 27 – September 30, 2017.

Artist statement:

I use mainly acrylics in my work – they are the most vesratile media I know. And in it’s normal state the paint will dry fast – which is essential for somebody like me who doesn’t have much patience. Besides acrylics I love using charcoal pencil – for some reason outlining images with it and then smudging the lines a bit gives me immense satisfaction. I also use pastels and white ink on occasion. You can also see elements of collage in my work – paper, tissue, dried leaves, various found objects – I like to incorporate all that.

Learn more on Anya’s website.

Want to buy something you see on our walls? Artists contribute 20% of sales made during their exhibit to the Friends of the Arlington County Public Library, to help support Library programming.
