ART BY ANITA Fine Art / Faux Finishes / Murals
Hi. My name is Anita. I'm a PAINTAHOLIC.
I started my decorative painting business in Milwaukee 10 years ago. Owned an art gallery in Bay View for six years and also exhibit fine art occasionally. I'm a proud co-founder of the Bay View Arts Guild.
I'm an outrageously happy married lady and step mom of a very cool teenager. Finally found the 'magic' combination for the perfect husband: cute as heck, smart & talented, hardworking & creative, sexy & sensitive, with a great sense of humor. You can see what he's up to at... www.BurgermeisterMagic.com
I'm spending more time at my piano - doing old standards with my sister who sings great, and playing lots of wedding ceremonies. Also designing websites and slide shows on the side.
I LOVE MY LIFE
