She received her BFA in Fine Art from the SamFox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington U. in St. Louis. During her undergraduate training, she developed traditional technical skills and a critical eye that have helped shape her art today. Four years in an intense BFA program instilled a lifelong-love of creative development. When she's not hiking a nearby trail looking for her next landscape inspiration, you'll find Anisa in her home studio in Portland, OR recreating her hiking memories in paint.
