Artwork by Seeta Anarishkwa
About the Artist
"The world is my canvas," is a phrase Seeta uses to describe her favorite venue for her creative talents.Seeta Anarishkwa began her artistic career at the ripe age of three, when she discovered the magic of crayons and created a masterpiece on the walls of her bedroom.
Beginning a flourishing artistic career in high school, Seeta pursued a degree in art. This was mostly put on hold when she married and had five wonderful children-- followed by the all too common divorce and a happy re-marriage with the birth of one more beautiful child, who's name means "God has answered." Though she never did get that degree, it certainly didn't put a stop to her creative expressions in her art!
After her initial foray into the world of wax color on drywall, Seeta has moved on through various other media and genres, eventually finding herself a comfortable home in acrylic paints, painting on everything from cottonwood tree branches, agate stone slices, bones, and leather. Her favorite compositions are Native American art and wildlife. She's particularly fond of western American wildlife and the tales of the Wyandot people, of which her husband is a descendant.
Seeta currently lives with four of her six children and her husband in an area that is quite the far cry from her smoggy childhood home, a place where a coyote's howl is commonplace and the sunset is never anything less than breathtaking.
