Anita Thomas

The arts and creative world have long been a part of my life, beginning with painting and illustrating from a very young age to a 22-year career in fashion design and pattern-making in the high-end of Toronto's fashion industry.

Living in Hamilton since 2004, I have established myself as a fine art photographer specializing in aerial and aviation photography. With a fondness for nature and landscape, I am often inspired by that which I have captured in my photography and love to interpret that through acrylics as well as encaustic painting.

I have exhibited in many group exhibitions and fundraising events, including at the Art Gallery of Hamilton, McMaster Innovation Park, Fieldcote Museum, Dundas Valley School of Art and the Louvre in Paris.

My work hangs in private collections and in professional offices throughout Canada, the United States, France, Australia, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
