Anna Syperek

 Anna Syperek, born in England of Polish and English parents, and raised in Oshawa, moved to Antigonish, Nova Scotia in 1971, when she was 20.  Anna graduated with a BFA in painting and printmaking at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1980. 

Anna belongs to the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour, the Nova Scotia Printmakers Association, and the Society of Antigonish Printmakers.  She has appeared in numerous solo and group shows throughout the Maritimes and the rest of Canada. 

Says Anna about her art: 

“I paint what I am drawn to, obviously filtered through my studies, my admiration of certain painters, my teachers, my cultural background and my disposition.  I like to paint on location as much as possible, so the work is also influenced by the heat of the sun, the bugs, the wind (my shade umbrella crashing down on the purple cabbage as I am painting, accentuating the fleeting impermanence of the subject matter)."
