About the Artist: A native New Englander, Rita has been a student of art the better part of her life. Raised in a family appreciative of nature, she found herself at an early age trying to recapture her recent vacation memories on Cape Cod, Northern New England and Canada.
  At the age of 12 she was recognized as a child artist and sponsored  by WBZ in Needham, Ma. She won a summer at a art and horse back riding camp which motivated her in the study of animals and the love of horses. From there her life revolved around riding, painting, whittling birds and pottery.
  Her paintings capture the changing light and shadow and subtle hints of foliage in her landscapes. She paints in both watercolor and oil, or pastel. Mostly self taught in the early part of her life, she studied art with Bernie Gerstner, North Shore, Paul George,  North Shore, Joseph Arsenault, Portrait, North Shore, Andrew Kusmin NWA South Shore, Robert Mesrop, NWA South Shore, also attended many workshops over the years.
  She currently teaches drawing at the COA in Plymouth. She is featured in the Fleur De Lis gallery in Bemidji,Minnesota, currently showing at the Trowbridge tavern with the Painted ladies in Bourne. Rita is very active with the painted ladies of Cape Cod.
  Some of her memberships include the Plymouth art guild, North Shore art assoc. Rockport art assoc. BWAA in Bourne/ Wareham, Falmouth art guild, and Painted ladies of Cape Cod
