Artist Statement:
My name is Anita
Rayburn-Billings. I am a
graduate of Vincennes
University with an associates
degree in Fine Arts.
Vincennes University is
accredited by the National
Association of Schools of Art
& Design.
I have also attended the
University of Southern Indiana
where I was working toward my
Bachelors in Fine Arts. This
has been put on hold in order
to be a stay-home mother.
Although I am at home I have
continued to work on my art.
This includes creating painted
windows and interior murals
with my friend and co-artist
Carol Moore. I also have
taught drawing to elementary
and high school students. I
am active in the arts
community in Vincennes
donating my time to
art-related fundraisers,
inventorying the art in the
Red Skelton collection and
serving as a Co-President of
the Northwest Territory Art
Guild with Carol Moore.
My paintings, many of which
are night paintings, are a
combination of my dreams and
imagination. Recently I had
become fascinated with the
aurora borealis and created
five paintings featuring this
phenomena.
I also enjoy doing still lifes
and landscapes and some
figurative work.
Photography is also another
interest of mine as well as
working ...
