I started in photography more than 40 years ago with both 35mm and medium format cameras. I did weddings and a lot of travel photography and had my own darkroom, to include color printing. However, as my kids started growing up and I got busy with work, I slipped back to using point and shoot cameras for many years, to include my first few digital cameras. Then three years ago my son showed me his new DSLR. I held it in my hands, took a few photos, and was hooked. I dived right back in and am primarily shooting landscapes and nature photographs.

Anita Hagan works as both a printmaker in linoleum block relief, and as a mixed media artist. Her unique technique of combining block prints with gold leaf, beading, acrylic paint, found object and paper collage creates a powerful and vibrant work of art bursting with color and movement. In each piece, the brushstrokes are matched with the strong line and pattern of the carved block. Anita is inspired both by the natural world and the human spirit, and creates her unusual pieces in a small cottage on the Chesapeake Bay of Maryland.

I am a graduate of UNH (class of 1970 BS in art educ.) and MICA (1978) with a Master's Degree in Art Education. I taught art in elementary schools, both public and private for a total of 18 years. I began my professional work in 2003, when I retired from teaching, and opened my business, "Your Art's Desire," which provides commissioned artwork of all sorts. I am the sole proprietor and do all the work myself. The majority of my work has been portrait painting in either oils or pastels.
