About the Item

Anita Loomis' "I Threw My Smile at a Beautiful Bird" is a playful abstract oil painting on canvas with the loose geometric shapes, active paint surface and touches of gilding that are characteristic of her work, lending the piece a primitive feel. Though the painting's color palette is predominantly coral, there are deliberate touches of aqua under the silver gilding that can be seen in the detail photos. This abstract painting is oil on canvas with painted edges and touches of silver and gold leaf. The artist's signature is along the left edge of the painting. Anita Loomis creates paintings that explore facets of human dialogue and relationships. Through painting, humor, and a deep curiosity about human imperfection, she investigates what it means to navigate communication with people who see the world through different cultural lenses. Loomis paints to shine a light on the common threads that connect our human experiences and spotlight the value of empathy. Loomis earned her BA in Studio Art from Framingham State University in Massachusetts, and her MA with a concentration in Arts Management from the University of Central Florida. She worked in the field of architectural stained glass for fifteen years and has focused on painting since 2004. She lives and works in Kittery, Maine. Her work has been exhibited at Miller White Gallery, South Dennis, MA; Fountain Street Gallery, Boston, MA, and various exhibitions in New England, Pennsylvania, China, and Japan. Her work is collected privately. Loomis is represented by Fountain Street Gallery based in Boston, MA.
