Original paintings and prints by Anita Saunders, inspired by the British countryside

Welcome


Growing up in the Cotswold countryside instilled in me a deep love of the natural world. The animals, jewel-like berries, frothy hedgerow blooms and twisting ivy that captivated me as a child continue to inspire my work today.


Through my paintings and hand-crafted prints, I celebrate the beauty of these often-overlooked treasures, from sinuous ivy vines to the glossy abundance of hawthorn and rowan berries. My fascination with surface pattern allows me to transform familiar forms into something unexpected, creating richly decorative images that invite a closer look and reveal the extraordinary beauty in the everyday.
