I return to fine art after my career in IT

Artwork by Anzka Davis

… I return to fine art after my career in IT. I am now dedicating my time to painting. I live on the farm where my husband runs Australian stock horse stud and our horses make great subjects for my paintings. Therefore, my favourite subjects are – traditional way of Australian country life and my beloved horses. I believe that artwork speaks from heart and that good artist thrives to express emotions that cannot be awakened in any other form of communication.
