ARTIST PROFILE

Anita Levering

  • Netherlands (b. 1962 in Egmond)
  • Currently in Auckland, New Zealand.
  • I am a full time art practitioner working and living between Auckland and Amsterdam. My medium is paint and my area of investigation is the elimination of artistic agency, or how to take myself out of the painting process... the letting go of control.
