read my post about the "daring" straps www.watchprosite.com

Fascinating journey that creates an even greater appreciation of her work and how she followed her passion for many years before receiving the recognition her work deserves.

I had the pleasure of meeting Anita a few years ago. She was as charming and humble as her enamel work is beautiful. Great story Gordon and well captured by you. Best, Patekova

Hi Patekova, She is an excellent enamelist and a great

Indeed, it would be an unique pleasure to see them here.

pigeonS ! 🤣 A male one first then followed by female. If I meet Anita at the exhibition, I will ask her whether she could share photos or not due to confidentiality reasons.

Bravo Gordon!

Truly appreciate the time and effort you have taken to organise this interview and then share it with the like minded. Your articles are a wealth of information and insight to the life and work of a contemporary artist. You must have had a great time talk...

I would be interested if there is anyone who can/ will take reign - 1) for miniature enamel paintings since Madame Rohr has retired and 2) if AP is helping educate a new geenration of enamel artists ?

You are welcome !

 
 By: GLau : June 15th, 2023-10:01
Anita is now considered the top enameler, inclusive of miniature painting. What do you think of her paintings ? Anita has a small team that works with her and naturally she is supervising and teaching them.

Thank you
