TEXTURES MEMBER SINCE 2016
Anita Thomas is a lifelong multi-disciplinary artist and maker working in everything from visual art mediums and photography to textile, leather, and yarn goods.
She has a diploma in Fashion Design and Technique from Sheridan College and went on to work for one of Canada's most iconic fashion designers, Marilyn Brooks, C.M, O.Ont.. Her freelance clients included Holt Renfrew, Dominic Bellissimo, Izzy Camilleri, Guzzo Bridal, Jean Claude Poitras, and Danier Leather. Her vast experience from a 25-year career as a fashion designer and pattern drafter in the high-end of Toronto’s fashion industry brings a high standard of quality, design, and fit to the limited edition collections she produces today under the Spunstuff™ label.
Under the Urbanmoon® brand, Anita’s award-winning photography reflects her visual art background, as evident in her sought-after aviation, aerial, and landscape photography.
Anita Thomas Art™ encompasses her visual art practice. Working in acrylics, cold wax with oils, and encaustics (a technique of painting with beeswax, damar tree sap, and raw pigments which dates back over 2500 years), her style will often move in different directions depending on the medium and series being explored.
Anita has participated in many arts festivals, fundraising events, and juried group and solo exhibitions including at the Art Gallery of Hamilton, McMaster Innovation Park, and the Louvre in Paris, France.
Her work hangs in private collections and professional offices throughout Canada, the United States, France, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.
