Anita Schewe Drabyk
Anita Schewe Drabyk creates paintings and photographs, which merge nature and art. With a background in botany and ecology, her work—whether captured through a lens or painted in watercolor—serves as a tribute to the Canadian landscape. A lifelong learner, Anita honed her craft at Emily Carr College and under the mentorship of masters like the late Courtney Milne. Currently based in Pinawa, Anita is a vibrant force in the local art scene and a regular exhibitor at the Pinawa Art Gallery, Gwen Fox Gallery in Selkirk and in Manitoba’s Flashfest last spring. Her work focuses on the subtleties of light and color, utilizing close-ups of flora and wildlife to reveal the hidden beauty found in the quietest scenes.
